Can I post Binary attachments to abrf or the Mailing-List?
No you cant. Posting unrelated messages to text only groups breaks UseNet rule number 3. As abrf is alt.books.raymond-feist and contains no binaries in the title, you should not post attached multimedia to this group. Another reasoning is the allotted space for text only groups is smaller than binaries. So if a bunch of people posted up pictures, all the old messages for two weeks ago will be lost and if posting files get excessive. Then the pictures themselves will come up as incomplete. The Mailing-List is done through SMTP and attaching files to e-mails is a bad idea. Such files tend to be viruses or can cripple the Mailing-List participants chance of retrieving all the e-mail. If you really are desperate for people to see your picture or media ask them to e-mail you personally or post it the Web please.
