I think that You should

1. use MIME encoding attachments
2. rather use jpeg instead of PNG

The headers say "X-Newsreader: POV-Ray Web Interface". Is this is the
first attachment that's come through the POV-Ray Web Interface since it
started allowing attachments to be posted again? It's the first one I've
seen on the particular pov.binaries.* newsgroups that I subscribe to.

Perhaps the support for attachments through the web interface isn't
working too well yet.

>2. rather use jpeg instead of PNG

That I agree with.

If you look at it from the web view (as I am right now), it looks perfectly
fine.

*If* the web site is going to send things out as uuencoded, it's quite 
important not to lie about that and hence not to put
   content-type: text/plain
in the headers, because it's obviously not plain text.

(Note to OP: This is the web server I'm talking about, nothing that you 
did, assuming you posted the image via the povray web server like the 
headers imply.)

Other than that, it's a nice image. :-)

This is not UUencoded otherwise all lines except fot the
last would start with 'M'.
I do not know what it is.

Yeah, that is what it says. But how to decode that one?
With UUencode I can stil read the image in winzip,
this one it does not know.

Good point. My eyes glazed. It says "begin-base64" at the top, which is 
apparently some bizarre MIME-based uuencode??  I noticed the == at the 
end and thought "Hmm, didn't know uuencode did that." :-)

Winzip is what I used.
