Your pictures are very nice. But requiring a special decoder is a

work quite well but it would probably be better if you took the extra
step
to convert to jpg before posting. A small description of the photo
including
any names you have for the flowers would also be greatly appreciated.
Err, he posted a jpeg.
To send it over USENET he did a yenc encode of the data instead of
a uuencode of the data or a MIME base 64 encode of the data.
For the original poster...
Unless you are having to pay for outbound bandwidth on your newsserver,
please use the format everyone supports, uuencode.
It's old and somewhat inefficient with space, but everybody can handle it.
Otherwise, consider MIME base 64. Darn near everything has it for
handling
standard email attachments.
The Yenc decoders only seem to be built into tools that seemed to be
preferred
by those sucking down movies, music, and porn from USENET. The folks here
have a vice that they can convince their friends and neighbors isn't as
bad as porn, make it easier for them by letting them stick to software
that lets them look like upstanding citizens...
