I've checked and the senders aren't in my killfile. Any ideas, anyone? Mary |

Or maybe their anti-spam service is killing binaries for some reason. Or... Anyhow, it's unlikely to be at your end, since you can read the text messages. You could have a look at all the settings of your newsreader, in case something is blocking the binaries, or is marking them as read. That is if you have your header pane set to show Unread message headers only. HTH -- wolf k. |

Some vendors don't allow binary files over a certain size. Are you seeing any binaries at all? Either way, I would complain to your ISP. -- Bill R.

"Mary Fisher" wrote in message t... I've just thought of something. The other day, in an attempt to remove very annoying ng spam which of course isn't picked up by my spam trap because that applies to my mailbox, I set a rule to remove messages which contained more than 50 lines. I've now removed that line, would someone please post a picture for me to see if it gets here? TIA, Mary |

That'll do it. I didn't realise you used Outlook express. As you have discovered, while it's easy to use, it's also to do thing with it that you don't want to do. Outlook uses the same rules for NGs as for mail. A NG is just a public mailbox that anyone can access by "subscribing" to it. Anyhow, many people get a newsreader-only program in order to prevent the e-mail and new-reader rules from interfering with each other. I see that Good Poster suggested another cause for your problems. So, for curiosity's sake, which was it? the 50 line limit, or the blocked images?

Thank you so much - but that's one I've never been able to grow so I'm even more envious :-( Saved to remind me of its beauty! Mary |
