Schoen Guest Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2006 9:36 pm    Post subject: Posting with attachments I have just tried to post something, and it does not appear in my Outlook Express newsreader headers. The first time I tried, I had a zipfile attached, and it was rejected because it was binary. OK. Then I attached just the source files, including the DFM file. It seemed to post without being rejected, but it did not show up. I tried again, and this time it was rejected by the binary filter. I had a previous successful post with a DFM file attached. I removed the offending file, and tried again. No reject error, but still no header in the newsreader. I am trying again, without attachments, to see what is going on. So, here goes... -- Paul E.

As this is a non-binaries group, *any* attachments, including text files (such as .pas or .dfm files) might well be rejected by your server. If you can source a few kb of web-space, you can upload the files there and link to them here, or you can find a relevant binaries group? D. Back to top Paul E.

Schoen www.pstech-inc.com OK, this was posted within 10 minutes, so I'll try my original post with no attachments. I would still like to know the proper netiquette for attachments on this newsgroup. The mini-FAQ does not address this, and another newsgroup FAQ only addressed the obvious restrictions on binaries, and other issues such as top-posting, excessive quoting, signatures, etc. It would be good to include a link in the Mini-FAQ to one or more of these: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette.
