Is my Isp up to no good?

Is my pc set not to read all types of messages including binaries or has my
ISP pulled a fast one and only allowingme to view txt posts?

It could be either one. It may be that your ISP maintains a news server
with only text newsgroups; this is fairly common. It's also possible
that they have binaries groups but that you aren't subscribed to them.
