3. When posting binaries with Agent, make sure each file attachment is in its own message

When posting binaries with Agent each part must be in its own message otherwise auto-join fails, necessitating an error-prone manual-join. The choices are either loading the Agent queue with the add-on AgentPost: http://www.skuz.net/madhat/agent/util.html

Or better, using PP2K: http://www.cosmicwolf.com.
