Bah! Well I have never noticed a single problem using agent. It has always decoded any and all binaries, including yenc. True, that's not the problem with Agent. I just don't like the interface. There were a couple of other issues, but I haven't bothered to remember them. |

The yEnc was unintentional. I recently started using News Rover and the
default is yEnc. I have not changed the settings to UU jpg. Art |

A news reader will allow you to decode it automatically. A good one is News Rover. Do a Google search on News Rover and you will learn a lot. It is cheap software and very good. Art Why should we switch to some news reader that might have some security holes (I'm not saying News Rover does)? MOST of us want to use the SECURE software we NOW have. If people want to use yEnc that is there choice but a lot of us are not going to bother to decode and look at their pictures. I vote Thunderbird for email + news... Tis the stuff.. Handles the old school yEnc encoding just fine. And get off IE... Go get FireFox! |

. And get off IE... Go get FireFox! Sure, and have fun finding and downloading all the plug-ins...... Why is that a problem? I'd rather be able to control my browsing environment than to have everything wide open to all kinds of malicious hackers. It's no problem to set Firefox up just the way you want it. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

That is for sure and with a host file it is a sweet bit. I rarely use explorer. |
