NNTP (Network News Transport Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer 
Protocol) are both just ways of shipping around messages.  Neither one 
really knows about attachments.  In both mail and news, "attachments" 
are a higher-level concept encoded inside the message content and 
managed by the various user applications.

This is all true of both mail and news, with only trivial changes of the 
formats and names of the encodings.
