How to send a small jpeg to a newsgroup?

[Jack Nation]

Anyone tell me how to send a small jpeg (average size is about 6kb) to a
newsgroup _ at least the information in it? I cannot copy the text
information in it because the background is grayed out.

You just want to post the jpg as a file attachment? I can give you some code for that.

Hi Chad,
Yes, I would like that file attachment procedure.

Hi Chad: You said if I just want to post the jpg as a file attachment? I can
give me some code for that.

My Response: I would appreciate the code you refer to.

Yes, but give a person some time. There are things other than newsgroups. I had to wait around at an
airport for a 4 hour late plane today. ;(

I'll try post it tonight.

It uses the Indy assembly, but thats free to use. I've included it in that zip, but for more information:
http://www.indyproject.org

The sample code is:

using (NNTP xNNTP = new NNTP()) {
xNNTP.Connect("msnews.microsoft.com");
try {
Message xMsg = new Message();
xMsg.Subject = "Test Message from Indy";
xMsg.From.Address = "(e-mail address removed)";
xMsg.Body.Text = "This is a test message.";
xMsg.NewsGroups.Add("microsoft.test");
new AttachmentFile(xMsg.MessageParts, System.Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\..\..
\App.ico");
xNNTP.Post(xMsg);
Console.WriteLine("Message posted");
} finally {
xNNTP.Disconnect();
}
}
