Hi Michael,

The reason might be that if you include anything that resembles a smiley , like a colon : and bracket )
or other combinations that would form a smiley of some sort, the posting will be rejected,
as if containing an image/gif.
Other things might be a signature gif or anything that is added to your post by Outlook itself.
Send an email from Outlook to yourself and see if you can detect what was added.

Subject: [PCSOFT] Alias Problem


I'm sending this from my Outlook Express v.6 e-mail application.  It seems as though anything I send to PCSoft or PCBuild aliases is getting rejected for the following reason (rejection message follows):

Your posting  to the  PCSOFT list  has been rejected  because it  contains an
attachment of type 'IMAGE/GIF'. The PCSOFT list has been configured to reject
such     attachments.     Please     contact    the     list     owner     at
[log in to unmask] for more information.

I sent my requests from Outlook 2003 just like I'm sending this one from OE v6.  Not sure why the messages to your aliases are being thought of as attachments.
