   My screenshot was just 50K in side. Well.... it's still considered big   
   by old standard (MS-DOS days). :)   
      
   I could try MIME (binary) attachment, but that's not directly supported   
   and displayed by Thunderbird. You will need to use Outlook Express to   
   see it directly.   
      
   I think MIME attachment is also not considered good behavior by Usenet,   
   in the strictest sense. Well.... :)
