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!). :-) Software to decode yEnc is free. 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. -- Travis in Shoreline Washington |
