Non-text attachments are removed.  "base64" attachments are 
non-text, even if the file contains text.  Some other types of 
files that are really text may be rejected because the 
mime-type is not text.

Also, HTML postings and postings with any attachments are held 
for moderation.

This is necessary to keep spam off of the list.

There is no XAM4 in .subckt AF7.  The current probe must be in 
the same scope.  You have XAM4 in the global scope.

Then ...  Current probes cannot use hierarchical names.  It must 
be local to the scope.

You cannot make unstructured connections by hierarchical node 
names.  All connections must be made through the port list.

This is by design, so its working as intended.  If you want to 
propose it on the developer list, you can raise the question of 
whether this is the correct design.
