This is strange
Posts to MS newsgroups are regulated by total message size (including
attachments). IIRC the max is 100 or perhaps 150KB.
Attachments add a markup of roughly 35%; therefore a 1 KB post or email with
a, e.g., 140KB attachment ends up being a 190KB message.

If your messages with attachments are to a Microsoft News Group you can
try
using their servers, they seem to accept attachments as long as they are
less then 100 kb in size.
You might try setting up a new account in Outlook Express using one of
their
servers, msnews.microsoft.com or news.microsoft.com.

Just figured out the messages with attachments are the ones that dont
show
up.
I tried HTML & plain text.

Is it a different MS group? Or an entirely different news server? Your
account settings should be OK if you can reply. It may just be a
temporary hiccup with the server. (Very common).

This post showed up. Is it just one news server, or one MS newsgroup?
In the problem group, View | Current View. Check: Show all messages &
Group messages by conversation.

On a newsgroup I can post a reply & it is fine.
But if i post a New post it doesn't appear.
Is there a setting i am missing ?
