No - I mean a newsgroup attachment. Normally pics just display. In this 
case, the bitmap just comes through as text. But its a valid BMP and I 
can find no way to download it. Normally I would right-click, save-as. 
But with a bmp displayed as text (which I don't know why it is doing 
so), there is nothing to right-click.
