Not all ISPs set all of their newsgroups to receive or propagate or allow
downloads of attachments from news posts. There was no image on my news

says it allows binary attachements only in binary newsgroups (FYI) if I
try to post a message with an attached file to a newsgroup not set to
accept attached files.


It is VERY, VERY rude to post binaries to discussion groups. This is
about the most offensive thing you can do on Usenet. As a result, a lot
of backbone sites (including the one upstream of me) dump all binaries
in discussion groups.
