Picture problem?
Marcus,
Not wishing to re-ignite arguments from the trenches, but it's because your newsreader doesn't recognize the method being used to encode those particular images. (All images here get posted as some form of text, depending on the program used to post them). Older newsgroup readers - often they are freeware - recognize the older methods of coding, but not all of these will recognize the newer, more efficient code-types that compress big images into small files. Your newsgroup reader is probably looking at Yenc-encoded pictures but doesn't know what to do with them. Old conservative members of this group, and those who only want to use free programs, positively HATE Yenc postings and want to publicly disembowel anyone with the temerity to use such methods, but you'll find there are plenty of easy ways to get hold of newsgroup readers that cope with all forms of picture-coding. If you search back a few weeks in this group, you'll find that someone has helpfully posted a link to a website with virtually all the newsgroup readers available. (And don't get hung up on "charters" and "rules" for posting, that some people here throw around - the Internet was never meant to be regulated by old, entrenched opinions, whatever they tell you). andy On Sun, 29 Jul 2007 12:50:04 +0100, "Marcus" nospam wrote: Why do some pictures apear as lots of text? |

Its because the people posting them dont have consideration for the groups
wishes and post in yEnc format. That or your seeing a multi part post that needs to be combined and decoded. "Marcus" nospam wrote in message ... Why do some pictures apear as lots of text? |

It is because the Yenc idiots are trying to spam this group instead of
starting their own group. Just killfile those posters and enjoy the considerate posters on the group. "Marcus" nospam wrote in message ... Why do some pictures apear as lots of text? |
