Evenin' Sheila...
There are other not so obvious 'complaints' on embedded
binary in a text response. You are not alone.

Just the same old one.
Do not use newsleecher (any version) to attempt to *read* binary
groups.
Fine as newsleecher may be for downloading 'raw' binary files NL
is hopeless at two functions of Usenet:
1. Posting text responses to text posts.
2. Sorting the binary from text in a combined post.
The latter is not good Usenet practice anyway but this NG has been
"at it" for so long now -- with those that insist on using WWW (http)
Browsers to read and post text -- the purists among us have simply
given up trying to educate. That is, until peeps as yourself pop up
and say "Hey..! wtf is happening here..?"
My post should answer that question.
