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. The header says "MIME-Version: 1.0" (same as yours) but that's in the header of every message whether it has an attachment or not. Everything I can see in the header makes sense and none of it refers to the attachment. If you're seeing something I can't, paste it into a reply: there's probably nothing I can do but why not share the frustration? FWIW Thunderbird is the only newsreader that does this, all others decode the files correctly, but that's no help to you. 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. It doesn't allow MIME in news posts, only in mail! I've found Windows 7 home edition easy to live with except that the last-ever version of Turnpike's incompatible with it and this version's too primitive. I've tried other newsreaders but they didn't meet my needs. 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 know. I get that with M$ Office files. I like the back-lighting, BTW. ;-) Thanks - though maybe I should post some rubbish so that you can just killfile me! HTH I'll see if anyone's in the pub tonight who's old enough to remember how Usenet works. Something might come of it. -- Sue ] |
