Sorry, what do you mean by "why not just post the text?" What command
would I type to do this, and how would it differ from this?

|curl \|

| -F 'source=/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAAQABAAD/2wBDAP//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////wgALCAABAAEBAREA/8QAFAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP/aAAgBAQAAAAF//8QAFBABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP/aAAgBAQABBQJ//8QAFBABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP/aAAgBAQAGPwJ//8QAFBABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP/aAAgBAQABPyF//9oACAEBAAAAEH//xAAUEAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/9oACAEBAAE/EH//2Q==' \|

| -F 'message=this message has a very small image of a single grey pixel attached to it in jpeg format' \|

| -F 'access_token=<secret>' \|

Thanks
