 * If I enter text alone the post looks fine. If I add an attachment the image shows
   but the text is gone. Does this have anything to do with the “:start” setting?
   Is there more info on the Start setting?

 * This doesn’t have anything to do the the “Text for Message Start” setting. That
   is entirely optional.
 * What is “Preferred Text Type” set to? Does it work if you change it?

 * Thank you Wayne, changing to html solved the problem.
 * Since you know about this. From what I’ve read, if I put :News in the subject
   line, the post should be directed to the “News” Category.
    This doesn’t seem 
   to be working.
 * Thanks a lot.
