into two files. I can't find a way to combine the parts into one whole
picture again. Help?

The procedure described there is quite cumbersome. A better way,
IMO, is to use a binary-capable newsreader for binary posts,
especially multi-part ones. There are many such newsreaders
available. Personally, I use Xnews (<http://xnews.newsguy.com/>).

I do also. The TB developers have made it pretty clear that they will
never support multi-part binaries in newsgroups.

Whatever the customer wants if not doable then find another application
that will.

to affect the devs. I suspect they are 'old school' USENET guys who
believe binaries have no place in newsgroups.

functionality USED to be in Netscape, and then was removed! UGLY.
Reminds me of Congress paying millions of dollars to make sure the Super
Collider project couldn't be revived by filling the hole with concrete!

I don't think it was available in any gecko based version of Netscape,
which would be 6 and up. Anything before that was a completely
different code base, so it isn't fair to say anything was removed, it
was all built from the ground up, and made to resemble the old Netscape
versions.
As to how easy or difficult it would be to add it in, I have no idea. I
don't think there ever was any intention for TB to be anything other
then a very basic newsreader, complementing its mail.

from several messages, which could then be decoded easily. That
functionality wasn't in the next release, so from a user's viewpoint, it
was removed. Frankly, that functionality isn't difficult to implement
as all the necessary code is already present. Ergo, they don't WANT to
be able to do that.
