There is no image attached when viewed using Google Groups. Either you
forgot the image, or Google discarded it from the post. In the past,
many Usenet groups would support an html post that could include
images, but those who so posted tended to be scolded for so doing so.
You might try posting a url to the image on a webpage. There are
several places that will let you store web pages or images for free if
you do not have your own web site. Many isps now include a limited
amount of space for their clients.
