This is a Usenet text-only newsgroup. Few providers allow attachments.

The Microsoft server (msnews.microsoft.com) allows attachments for
this group. I see you're using the Comcast server, may there's a
restriction there?

Bear in mind that even if you successfully send them, many (if not
most) of us won't see them. We either have attachments turned off in
our newsreaders or simply won't open them if they are present.

Not to accuse you personally of anything, but I'm not willing to take
the risk associated with opening an attachment sent by a stranger;
many of us here have the same view, and those that don't have that
view *should* have it.

Opening attachments is a *very* dangerous thing to do. It's bad enough
in e-mail if the attachments come from friends or relatives (who can
be infected without their realizing it), but it's much worse in a
newsgroup when they come from people you don't know.
 
Thanks for the feedback!
