I can't see the whole of the spilt pictures, only the first part
sometimes.

I'm using Mozilla Thunderbird as my news reader. Does anyone know how to
fix this?

Here's a whole picture to be getting on with.

There's not a whole lot you can do at your end if you don't get all of
the parts. If you get 1 and 3, but 2 is missing, then for all intents
and porpoises, you're SOL.

The problem isn't that parts are missing, so much as there being
separate parts to start with. I could see the first half of the B-47
RATO picture, but the lower part, in a separate e-mail, was just a long
string of characters. Both parts of the Mainstay arrived, but I couldn't
see anything, not even strings.

The issue is exclusively with the original poster's news server.
Somewhere in the bowels of it's settings, there's a maximum allowed
message size that probably hasn't been updated since Al Gore invented
the Internet. When velociraptors used dial-up, this was a
reasonable precaution, such that that if a large message failed to
download (at say 90%) wouldn't mean that you had to start again and
download all of the the same bytes a second time.

It's a matter of trial and error at the poster's end, to adjust the
message size, to keep making them larger and larger until you hit the
unspoken limit and your messages just disappear.
