That is difficult. Theoretically, MIME attachment should be readable
by both email and news readers. But, not many news readers understand
MIME, and I suspect that Google's newsgroup parser does not handle
MIME very well too.

So, the safest course is with inline MIME attachment, which is
readable in any reader.
