You cannot attach photos to messages in this newsgroup. Just text. Post the pictures at a free site like

Thanks,

I can look it up on Wikipedia now.

OK, thanks, will do in the future

Do it NOW, if you want your plant identified. Do you understand that nobody was able to see the picture you *THINK* was attached to your original message?

Some servers carried the picture, and someone identified it. Not all servers block binaries from non-binary groups.

Interesting. I stand corrected. Or sit, actually. :-)

"JoeSpareBedroom" expounded:

No, Joe, you weren't wrong, the first picture didn't come through as a picture, only as code. The second one did make it. Nevermind the fact that pictures aren't supposed to be posted here........

Billy Rose expounded:

Well, I must have had a bad file, then.\

Rec.gardens is a text-based group. If people start posting binaries here, there are many news servers that will discontinue carrying the group. The alt.binaries hierarchy was set up specifically for binaries, that's where pix belong (but you know that).

I'm pretty sure supernews simply filters binaries that are posted to the text groups. I never see the binaries here. Billy's server must follow different protocols.

Charlie expounded:

Yea, Newsguy lets binaries through, and I'm on high-speed, so I don't mind them, butthose on dial-up (and there are still plenty out there) really don't like binaries posted here.

Waahhhhhh..........sometimes typos makes me giggle!!

OMG, sounds like some sorta episode in Billy's garden........Billy and the Butthose.

Nevermind. Sorry.

Charlie, crawlin' back under his log.
