But Dave Moorman reports he can't see them as images, and he's using "MT-NewsWatcher/3.5.3b3 (Intel Mac OS X)" I see one odd thing, Gravity is adding these lines to the header, even though I've selected UUENCODE: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precisely. It shouldn't be encoding the images as plain text. The post should be sent as a two part message: part one a text message (which can be blank), and part two as a MIME (or UU-)encoded *.jpg file. Gravity doesn't seem to be doing that. Maybe if you select MIME, Gravity will send the message correctly. MIME was developed after UUEncode, because UUEncode is not a good method of encoding binary files. Or so I understand it. Gravity can see and download these just fine. Well, sure, it's the one that's _sending_ these messages in plain text. Why, I don't know. IMO, there is a standards violation here. We are (once again) faced with the consequences of freebie-writers ignoring standards because they "know a better way". TBird sees: begin 755 IMG_0619a-Reinisch_Memorial_Rose_Garden.jpg M_]C_X``02D9)1@`!`@$`M`"T``#_X2,!17AI9@``24DJ``@````* ``\!`@`& M````A@```!`!`@`8````C````!(!`P`!`````0```!H!!0`!` ```I````!L! Etc. IMO, Gravity and other readers that are seeing these as images are in fact using an external viewer (eg, the default system viewer.) If I Save As a *.jpg file (instead of an *.eml file), I can see the image using PMView. So I could Save As the whole lot, and then chcek them in PMView, but I'd really rather see them in TBird as intended. HTH wolf k. |
