Anybody out there see the picture? I did not see the original message using my email client (Seamonkey - nearly identical to Thunderbird), nor did I see it using Google Groups. Seems like it might be Thunderbird quirk, because RAS is a Usenet group that does not support images. How do you connect to RAS? I use the nntp.aioe.org server. |

The old USENET, which is where rec.aviation.soaring really lives is all ASCII characters and supported attachments by converting things like Images to a ASCII text encoding.

Folks with ancient USENET readers might see the encoded text as --------------0DAD4A81AAF329A2D963103A Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="T-Birds.jpg" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="T-Birds.jpg" /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAgEBLAEsAAD/7Q3yUGhvdG9zaG9wIDMuMAA4QklNA+0AAAAAABABLAAA AAEAAQEsAAAAAQABOEJJTQQNAAAAAAAEAAAAeDhCSU0D8wAAAA AACAAAAAAAAAAAOEJJTQQK AAAAAAABAAA4QklNJxAAAAAAAAoAAQAAAAAAAAACOEJJTQP1AA AAAABIAC9mZgABAGxmZgAG And Google Groups... which is a pretty crappy front-end to USENET... well it just ignores all attachments.

All us glider guys that want the modern technology in our cockpits are
inexplicably still using smoke signals to communicate on RAS. Go figure.

Anybody out there see the picture? I attached an image to this posting. Let's see if anyone sees it! OK, it wouldn't send because of "invalid content type", probably the nntp.aioe.org server choking on it. I probably need to use a different server to make it work, like Dan's eternal-september.org. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 |
