The custom is to post in plain text, but I tried once to send an html post on a private nntp server as a test and it certainly worked (1). There were no filters to block it. Some people scandalized, so I did not repeat the experiment, but it showed that the technology was in place, just unused. I am this moment subscribing to rec.arts.tv to see that post in Thunderbird. I use leafnode as proxy. [...] Yes, the photos do show. Not by default, Thunderbird warns that there is remote content, and I have to explicitly enable it - same as for any html email I get. That is, the post doesn't include the photos, they are downloaded when you open the post. You can probably view the source at your side. (1) that nntp server had a gateway to a web forum, and they of course posted with text format and sometimes photos, and they were lost when gated to the nntp side. So I tried to see if nntp was html capable, and it was. It was just the gateway that wasn't. -- Cheers, Carlos. |
