Yes t-4-2 your post did make sense. The saying 'a picture paints a thousand
words' is quite apt when it comes to trying to explain a problem to someone
but, like Ken, I also do tend to ignore posts that contain
attachments/pictures. The only time I don't ignore attachments/pictures is
when I have specifically asked for them and, in that case, I have suggested
that the original poster contact me direct via email.
Out of curiosity I did take a screenshot using SnagIt8 (installed on a VM)
and saved the image. After saving the image I copied the image from the
Virtual Machine to my Vista desktop. After clicking the attachment icon in
this post I successfully attached the image to the post (I have removed it
again prior to sending) so in that respect my copy of SnagIt8 will attach an
image to my newsreader post. But then again, maybe it is because I am using
Windows Mail as my newsreader rather than a web based mail such as Vista64?
