Yes. It's possible to attach to a usenet post data other than text. If
a file is too large for one post, it's broken up into as many posts as
are needed. The attached file can be a photo of a few KB or the latest
Doctor Who episode a couple of hours after it's broadcast. The last
time I looked, Google groups does not handle the alt.binaries groups.
