Does this mean that the allowed files can be attached as MIME in NNTP
messages?

If I upload a file with my NNTP client will it propagate to the RSLite

The above feature is just a rslight feature, like a BBS. You can upload
files under your username for others to download.

rslight already supports posting and displaying of attachments. This is
different than what I was talking about above, but yes, rslight supports
attachments.

They should work. rslight will not display most non-image attachments inline (for obvious
reasons), but should offer link to download.
