If you are posting via MesNews you can add as many attachments as you
like in one post, but in my experience it is best to keep the overall
size of each post to a maximum of 2.5MB
Also if you are going to post just a photo (attachment) in a new post
without any text you need to place the cursor in the text pane and
press the space bar once to fool it, so it thinks there is text,
otherwise it will not send the post properly.
