As you can see, your image doesn't open automatically in my news reader
(Thunderbird). The reason is that the the header shows the message as
encoded in mime, but the message body itself shows that it's uuencoded.
(These are both methods of encoding non-text files so they can be
transmitted as text files, because all mail/news traffic is in text
characters only.) Your news reader is Turnpike: it has placed incorrect
encoding data in the header, so Thunderbird "reads" the file as text
instead of as an image.

I don't know what Turnpike's default settings are, but somewhere you
should be able to ensure that the encoding information in the header is
correct.

I can still open the pictures if I Save As the message on the desktop as
a *.jpg file, and open it from there, but it would be more convenient to
see the image when I open your post.

I like the back-lighting, BTW. ;-)
