Yes Thunderbird, and before that Outlook Express. I don't ever remember 
using the web interface before to post anything.

Honestly I had completely forgotten, if it was a POV generated image I 
would have certainly posted it in the images group, but as it wasn't I 
didn't think twice about just attaching it to my reply here. If I get 
around to improving the lighting and focal blur a bit more I'll post up 
some more images in the binary group.
