New and need some advice
I would like some suggestions and ideas of what can be done to brighten my
garden up. What I would like to do is post a photograph but as this is a non binary group I could send a picture privately to anyone willing. Some of the things that need to change are obvious but I really need some experienced ideas. Regards Melv |

I use photobucket for this purpose. It costs nothing and is handy for this kind of thing. There are lots of similar things out there too. http://photobucket.com Saffy |

You could post a picture to any of the *.bin newsgroups and draw our attention to it by giving a link in this newsgroup. Franz |

No offence, but most people are probably too security-conscious to open email attachments from a usenet stranger. Better to put the pic on a binary group (or a friend's website) and post here to say where it is. Do you seriously think that will help? There are as many ways in through browsers as through mail agents. While I am not immune from such things, the way I read mail and browse is pretty secure. Provided that the picture is small (under 1 MB) and in a standard (e.g. not Microsoft) format, I am happy to be sent it. GIF, PDF, Postscript, HTML etc. are all fine. My Email address is in the header. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

Your AV software might not pick it up as well (depending on what it's trying to do). Better to stick to jpg ang gif as I don't think they can contain executable code so are 'safe' Matt |
