I use Moxilla thunderbird's news group. Is there something wrong?
I usually use Google with a password.

Or, too much Fennec (tm) Tea. I clicked on the .jpg link and poof -
there was a ship.

Yep. The "ship" is still there. You may, however, have to go "down
under" the message to find the link to the graphic file.

If you use Scott, it's MR10. Issued 1 September 1877. $1.00 used VF,
$27.50 VF hinged, $100 imperf pair. Trivial value in your stamp's
condition (tear, heavy cancel, centering.)

I was surprised when I saw your stamp. It was "inlined" with my reader,
Pan.

It would be interesting to read how you did it, but you're about to open
a can of worms on this group about whether you *should*, especially when
some responses suggest that some readers did not see your initial post at
all.

Here is my browser hiearchy,
there is, and never was an original post,
http://cjoint.com/data/frleUdpK1W.htm
Would anyone care to throw on Cjoint so I can have a bo peep?

Maybe your reader kicked it because of the binary?

That may be, but for one reason or another,
the original post never turned up in my Outlook Express / RCSD
as a simple search reveals
http://cjoint.com/data/frqkLZNyxq.htm

From memory, that has never occurred before.

No it doesn't,
the search is open ended,
the results are every instance of "Stamp ID" I received.
I never received the OP message.

This was not the first post in the thread, but it DID have the said
attachment in it. If not, then I must've replied in my sleep or
through another dimension. :^)

... which, by the way, is quite possible ...

Probably your ISP (or NSP if you have one)
kicked out the message, containing a binary
posting, from a non-binary newsgroup.
Google groups did this too.

Interesting... This may be true for some ISPs, but mine let it slip
in, even though they do not carry binaries groups.

To put you all out of your misery, the stamp I put in my post (as an attachment) is from Liberia 1924 - Scott # F32.

However,
Not much wampum for the Stanley Gibbons tribe.
I never got to see your stamp image.
