How did the image turn out? (check all that apply)

• It displayed fine in the newsreader.
• The newsreader invoked a browser, which displayed the image fine.
• The newsreader invoked a browser, but image display failed.
• It did not display, but I could click on the link to visit the page.
• I was able to click on the stub to see the image.
• I was able to cut and paste the URL from the newsreader to call up the page in my browser.
• I read offline, so I could not see the image while reading.
• I read with a shell account so I can't call up images.
• Other:

• Great, let's have more!
• Ok, but keep them small and funny
• Neutral
• I prefer not, but just label them so I can avoid reading them.
• Hate them.

This article on RHF was done with a very short item containing links to the graphic, and two versions (a plain text one first, and an HTML one second) to accomodate the needs of most newsreaders cleanly.

However, it's also possible to put the graphics actually IN the article in MIME style, and the web-browser based readers will display them right there, fetching them locally rather than from our central server. However, users of newsreaders not able to handle mime attachments would need to run other tools to extract the image, or visit a web page -- or simply not read the articles, which would of course be marked. What do you think should be done?

• Yes, put images directly in posting (if small)
• Put images in posting, but also include other parts with link to web site
• Prefer they be links, and not be put in posting
• I told you, I don't like images at all!
