The problem is that there is a difference between embedding and 
attaching an image.  You are embedding them, which makes them an 
integral part of your HTML messages.  You should attach them instead, 
because apparently some software has problems with embedded images. 
Outlook Express does allow using either method.

I don't remember the details because I switched from OE to Thunderbird 
some time ago.  Besides, right at the moment I'm using Linux so can't 
check it out -- but the option is there.

It would probably cause fewer problems if you would switch to straight 
text instead of HTML.  It seems that HTML is rarely used in newsgroups 
-- at least in the ones I'm familiar with.  That choice can be selected 
in OE as well.

One other minor quibble...  All your images have been posted with the 
same name "SpaceCarrier", so if anyone saves your images (as I do) they 
all have to be renamed to do so.    :-)     (Use SpaceCarrier-1, 
SpaceCarrier-2, ..., etc.)

Larry,

thanks for your answer. I am going to change beginning from the upcoming 
"Preview 09" the format from HTML to Text.

Greetings,

Sven

Just for info.  I use Agent 3 and have no problems seeing these
images.

I'm having the same problem, using Netscape Communicator as my browser.  But
I think Larry Hudson's suggestion to Sven will solve it.

Looking forward to seeing the images, Sven!

Cool Earth-like desert moon, that 68 Cyg XIV-7! Did you make it also 
with PoV-Ray?

And, yes, I really would like to know how long (in kilometers) the 
SENECA carrier is altogether...

See you in Khyberspace!

getting your good feedback is my pride! You want to know the SENECA's 
length: the two large bays are the longest parts of the carrier, and they 
range from approximately -200 to +1800. Each unit is a meter, as I am used 
for the metric system. That means, that the SENECA is (a little bit more 
than) 2 KM long!

The SENECA is a project for a SF computer animation, in fact, there is 
already a small clip of 10 seconds. But the ship is not yet completed, I 
just like to spice up the temporary previews with a nice environment. More 
details are to be added to the SENECA, and I also still have to finish many 
of the floors inside that giant ship. The floors do exist, but lack items 
and other things.

About the backgrounds: no these backgrounds are made just by graphic program 
or photo. But there are ways to make a POV-Ray universe (search for 
"stars.inc").

Alright, I hope to hear from you (all) again!

Sven

Yes, and I have no problem with Thunderbird, but Roman Reiner did have 
problems.  I was merely pointing out that attaching images causes fewer 
problems than embedding images.  There is a difference between these two 
methods.

      -=- Larry -=-

PS.  To Roman:

It might be worthwhile for you to consider using a real newsreader 
instead of the web interface with a browser.  I think Thunderbird is a 
good choice, and it's free -- but there are many other good choices as 
well.  (Of course, Thunderbird is primarily meant for e-mail, but it 
does newsgroups very well also.)
