FYI

I see an attachment to a post done at Element14 got through to the

newsgroup. (eagle.support.eng -  Where is the Package Editing mode

button in the gui?)

 

Let's see if this image gets back to Element14

 

The attachment was not included when Element14 retrieved the post.

Additionally the XML image attached today at the News Group did not appear

at Element14.

Apologies - I'm curious to see if an image posted via element14 appears in nntp and eaglecentral.

Thanks,

Drew

No dice - let's try from NNTP to element14 instead.

Your imbedded image did not get through but it did include the file name.

As it conveys no useful information to the reader shall we deem such text

strings as spam as has been done with the emoticon text strings?

The image that got through the other day was an attachment. Try that to see

if it gets through.

Ah, so I noticed that in posted where attached image made it to NNTP safely, it was an actual "attachment" in element14, not just an inline image.  In order to make an attachment, the "Use advanced editor" link in the upper righthand corner of the reply editor must be clicked.  This opens up a full-page editor which has a "Choose File" button underneath to make an attachment.

Attaching test image via this method now.

Thanks,

Drew

Yeah, I can understand that.  I'm a die-hard shell email user and often

get frustrated by poorly constructed HTML messages.  I'm trying to get

back in the grove with slrn now that I know there's a cadsoft nntp

server (using thunderbird too for now).

Thanks, yeah I just realized that it was an actual attachment on the

element14 side, not just an inline image, used in "Where is the Package

Editing mode...".  I've done another element14 post using a real attachment.

Cheers,

Drew

Alrighty, so a small 3 KB image got though ok from element14 to NNTP

when included as an actual attachment in the element14 "advanced mode"

WYSIWYG editor.

Now, if that does work consistently, then I think it would be ok for

savvy element14 users.  But, afiak, there is nothing to inform the

element14 user that inline images will be lost in translation.  Looks

like a technical solution will be needed in the element14 to NNTP export

functionality.  As I read in an earlier suggestion, including a URL to

the image hosted on element14 (that required no authentication) would be

a solution.

No reception of the image attachment from NNTP on this element14 thread.  I'm curious to see if I can find any successfull NNTP->element14 attachements.  element14->NNTP looks to be in better shape (aside from the requirement to explicity attach the image as a file).
