John, some news servers do not accept JPGs GIFs or BMPs over a certain
size in text only news groups. I didn't get the picture either, and I
suspect that's why. Also, if your news reader is set to only download
text files, it might skip messages which contain anything else (logos,
sigs with pictures, etc.)

its not worth fixing

In order to Bypass Garee's post I just exit Outlook Express
then start it up again. After I've read all the posts, I go to
Edit and then Mark All as Read. Garee's post is no longer
highlighted. I know it's a long way around the problem but it does work.

What a mix-up! On Outlook Express the size of the post is on
the far right. I checked when I saw the Garee's post was taking
far too long to download. That was the culprit - 984KB.
Much too large to be sending on rec.ponds.
The links that Michael Schaffer sent were just that... Links.
No pics which is the way we should actually send our pics.

me, too. i have outlook express for mac, and all i have to do is mark them
all read. if i have clicked on the big ng message because i didn't pay
attention to the size of it, then i do have to exit and then come back to
the newsgroup and then mark it read.

Yeah, but they are so cheap now. A high speed one might run you $70 or so,
and a older slower one might run you $25.. Heck that's the price of a few
zip discs! LOL!!

Blank cds hold 7 times the amount, and only cost about $.50 each.. well
worth the investment.. plus then you can share your pics with any family
members that have a pc.. everyone has a cd reader. We make slideshow cds for
our family around the holiday season.

Although it will be inviting, don't go for a CD-RW/DVD. Mine gave up
the ghost pretty quick and I've since heard that that is a common
occurrence.
