No one is going to download a binary, let alone one posted *three* times,
just to see a picture of your Desktop. Either host the image on a free
image hosting site (and a lot of people won't bother going there, either)
or just use words to describe the issue. Actually, your message is quite
descriptive all by itself.

Here are a few solutions from MVP Ramesh. From your description, it sounds
like the second one should do the trick but I gave you all three just in
case.

Yes, an nzb Usenet client works great for when you want to get *those* kind
of files but not so good for plain text newsgroups.

Glad to hear that Ramesh's solution sorted it for you. Thanks for taking the
time to post back.
