Ah! So perhaps that's why I still can't see some yEnc posts despite buying
the necessary software to decode it automatically in OE.
Most annoying (or words to that effect!). :-)

But why should anyone have to get additional software, free or not, just
to decode a message posted in a non-standard format?

No one has to get it.

Haven't you ever used additional software to perform some function that
isn't included with Windows or OS X? For instance .pdf files need a
..pdf reader and neither Windows or Apple make one.

Yes there is free software but when I tried it you had to save the photo to
your PC and then do through a procedure to decode it, save it again and then
it might be viewable depending on the version of yEnc that had been used. I
do not save photos to my PC, even most of my own are put straight to DVD
unless I delete them first.
I paid for software that is supposed to work seamlessly with OE....we shall
see IDC!

I just tried a nother news reader, offered by a site that _promotes_
yEnc. Very enthusiastic, these people are. Think yEnc is the bees knees.

The program is called NewzTools, and is one of the worst I've ever seen.
Can't specify how many headers to download, doesn't fetch the ISP's
newshost's news group list, doesn't sort headers, and - oh, I don't know
what else. I gave up after trying it on alt.binaries.multimedia.rail. It
supposedly d/l 300 headers, but less than 100 showed on the screen. "Get
Older Posts" behaved erratically, sometimes adding just one header,
sometimes added a dozen or so.

Well, it was free, so I guess it was worth what I paid for it. ;-)

I use Pan http://pan.rebelbase.com/ for multipart binaries and it is
free.

I checked the website, and see it's still a 0.xx release. Thanks for
then info. I might try it when it's gotten to 1.xx.

PS: did you catch the irony in "bees knees"?

Try it now 0.131 works great. Pan 1.0 is very near to release.

yProxy is free, sits in the background and decodes yEncoded articles and
nothing needs to be saved before viewing. The pictures just appear like
they do when they are UU encoded.

Here is a link to yProxy. http://www.yproxy.com/45fa82be/ I use
yProxy13.exe.
