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 :-)

Generally speaking, most news and mail agents can handle either a MIME
attachment, or a uuencoded file *with no MIME headers*. Mail readers
that see MIME headers saying "there's no attachment, this is just plain
text" with a bunch of uuencode in the body will generally show the
encoded text rather than decoding it.
If your posting software insists on putting in MIME headers, you should
use MIME-standard posting mechanisms.

I recently posted a work-around for those UU-encoded
attachments that Rafal is using in the
'A-114 Grid Media - 1 attachment' tread in pbs-f.
basically:
save file as *.uue (perhaps remove an extra .eml
extension later)
now you can read the file in e.g. winzip.
If you use some other zip (e.g. uudecode) util then
you may also have to delete all lines before the
line that begins with:
'begin 644 ....'
I came across this problem before and for me it is
a sign that the mailer is using a Mac.
It may be better if Rafal would use something that
is useable for other people also
