Could you please repost to a.b.m.t with a better format?  There
doesn't seem to be any format to those posts.

Indeed, your posts seem very minimal, as if you just expected to
dump the jpegs into a news post program, and expected it to work.
Not even a Mime header, of which "1.0" is even required in the latest
RFC for a news article (though, there is still a lot of netnews software
that doesn't honor that...)

TL;DR:  yenc or uuencode would be very much appreciated.
