Thusly "Donegal Paul" Spake
Unto All:

If you mean actually attaching pics to your messages then posting them here,
then no its not ok. This is generally frowned upon within most newsgroups i
believe other than binaries.


Plus the message will be filtered by many servers, so only a minor
proportion of readers will receive the image. I.e. I wouldn't. And
most of those who got it would probably treat it with suspicion and
not look at it, given the existence of malicious code hidden in jpeg
files.

If you have the ability, it is better to post
your pics on a website and then post links.


There are websites which allow you to post pictures for free, e.g.
PBase (www.pbase.com)
