Wendy, if some pictures are posted in yEnc the OeyEnc program will
allow Outlook express to open those pictures and you don't have to
even know they were posted in yEnc. I just read that you open the
OeyEnc program which opens Outlook express. Is that correct people?
Maybe I read someone's article who didn't know?
I use agent so it is just simple and wonderful.

Here come some technicalities. You asked for it. ;-)

When you send a file over the internet, it must be encoded (converted
into alphanumeric characters, actually.) The standard methods are MIME
and UUE. Both actually make the transmitted file bigger than the
original. Your e-mail program/newsreader/browser converts the file back
into its original format. ("Standard" means approved an adopted by an
international body, which is made up of delegates from national
standards and professional bodies.)

However, a yEnc encoded file is smaller than the original, which is a
great benefit to people who are on dial-up. Also the further you are
from your broadband node, the slower your speed, so it can be of benefit
even to broadband users.

Unfortunately, yEnc is not standard, exists in several non-compatible
versions, and is proprietary. Most 3rd party newsreaders can handle some
or all varieties, but OE can't - MS doesn't license other people's
software, it buys it, and the owner didn't want to sell. Or so the story
goes.

Oh ok? JV, but will it work with WindowsMail on Vista?
I was also questioning why use yEenc in the first place?
Is Agent free?

No Agent is not free. There used to be a free agent but not sure
anymore. As to vista I can't help there as I won't use vista ever. XP
is more than enough. Everything I need works on XP.
You are using outlook express, I believe and if you have ever opened a
yEnc post without knowing it and gotten a lot of numbers and hash then
the OeyEnc program could be good to go. Try it it should work and I
don't think it could hurt. But wait and make sure. I will google it
for you but maybe someone here who also uses vista will come to your
aid.

That's right. Just click on OeyEnc shortcut and use OE as you
normally would.

One drawback with OeyEnc is that "yEnc" must be in the subject line. If
not, the attachment comes up as gibberish.

Simple workaround: save the resulting message to your desktop and pipe it
through yEnc32.

A bit kludgy, but it works. :-)
