I installed MT-NewsWatcher and yesterday sent a message to 
binaries.images, with 3 attachments. I received these OK on MTNW and 
also using MacSoup. But on the web page only one attachment is showing. 

Guidance please?

Switch to MIME encoding of messages with attachments.  Multiple attachments
using other formats is completely non-standard and actually undefined.  This
is most likely a bug in the newsreader creating such posts:  It would have
to split it up automatically and create three messages with an (1/3), (2/3)
and (3/3) appended to the subject line if it wants to use multiple old-style
attachments.

If you cannot switch to use MIME encoding for messages with attachments, the
only option you have is to manually post each attachment in a separate
message.

FYI: If your GUI newsreader does not support MIME posts, I would suggest to
look for a properly working GUI newsreader.  MIME has existed about as long
as the world wide web, and I know the Mac OS X newsreaders are newer than
that! :-)  I think the Mozilla project has a completely working newsreader.
At least Netscape has always supported MIME messages ever since it had a
newsreader built-in ...

Just clicked on "Send with MIME". :-)

One day I have to find out what this means. Thanks for your help. I'll 
now send the two missing ones again.
