He posted in html and included two attachments. His email program added added a text version, which we know is frequently bogus. The nntp news system tossed the attachments, I believe. Now, my newsreader (nntp NewsReader, which is the best I've found for my tablet) has bugs, but not as important as the ones I've stopped using. I can read the html version of the email, but when replying it quotes none of it. Sometimes I just give up, sometimes I use copypaste and sometimes I just mention it. But I don't mention it anymore if it's the only thing I have to say. Are you recommending we ignore newsreader usage, or am I permitted to object to attachments? Do you have another suggestion for me, other than: 1) switch to googlegroups 2) read and post only occasionally, when I get back to my laptop 3) write my own reader that runs on the Android -- DaveA
