Rafal, this is not test group.
Only posts in povray.off-topic expire.

Then I take my words back and Thunderbird (v0.5) is to be blamed. I hope 
they'll fix the problem.

I used a realy small (10 lines) attachment, but ok - sorry.

(btw how about creating povray.test or povray.news-client.test group with 
expiration time of 3 days? if it isnt much work ofcourse, just an idea)

Someone searching for the proper way to post attachments in these newsgroups
may come across this brief discussion.  If it was posted in off-topic,
people may be more repeat the same mistakes of the past.

He kept the attachments very small.  Personally, I don't see the problem,
any more than someone posting "Thanks" to someone else's "Nice Image!".

Just my 2 cents.

I completly agree with you about the way Rafal did it. The reason behind my
note was that readers learn bad habits by seeing wrong examples. If wrong
example has no note that it was indeed wrong than by repeating it becames
(still wrong) rule. Not every newbie realizes difference in bandwith between
small image and large image, between one post and four posts. Now, with four
answers, we used probably more space than Rafal did, but if it could stop some
person in the future to use that server/group for testing attachemnts with
100kB image then it was success :-)
