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.

I have no binary access, nor do a lot of users. I for one am greatful fo
binary posts in thse groups.

The picture came through fine.
