I have Vista Home Premium for about 3 months and basically I am happy with
it although I do find it a little bit slow.

I am a member of a photography news group and until yesterday I had no
problems with posting. Today I tried for the first time in about 2 weeks to
post a photograph. Windows Mail responded that I was trying to post in HTML
and this was was not a good idea because many news groups do not allow HTML
postings. The post did not appear in the news group. I will not give the
exact text because I use the Dutch version of Vista. A post yesterday
without a photo worked without any problem.

My settings in Windows Mail/Extra/Options/Extra/News Groups/Send are "Plain
Text" and "Uuencoded" Anyone any ideas. Thanks in advance.

If I read you correct that was only a friendly type warning if you has sent
anyway it would have gone but I warn you many group want plain text.

Some newsgroups neither allow HTML nor photos, i.e. those messages will
simply be cancelled.
Find out what the newsgroup's policies are.
