no problem
jespers plsk attachment message did just reach my mailbox
& it is indeed a real pic & fully visible in this format
so i have 4 hypotheses to explain the anomaly
& will be testing them later today with additional pic attachments
unless someone can beat me to it
either
the gmane pic replicator needed a primer cycle to fully engage
in which case we are already fully out of the woods forever
or else
the plsk pic exceeded a load limit that the ianesd pic didnt
in which case we need only learn & obey that limit
or
the gmane site only accepts multipoint pix
or
this is only a randomized delivery service
so dont quit receiving individual emails yet
or you may still miss a pic now & then
but to be continued
