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.


My newsreader is Pan and it displayed the picture just fine.
