When recieving pictures in Newsgroups, think technical term is binaries,
some are OK but others just charactors all mixed up.
As I thought it might be my ISPs news server I opened another news server
and the same happens.
I've contacted Microsoft Help but they will not help unless I pay them!
They say I should contact my computer maker if I want support.

Anyway anyone here able to help me improve my OE?

Dump it in favor of a real newsreader.

OE cannot natively decode yEncoded binaries which are popular in binary
newsgroups.

You have several options. You can use a newsreader which can natively
de-yEnc, of which there are many^1. You can use the free or pay
yProxy^2. Or you can combine the yEnc attachments with OE and decode
the file with a de-yEnc^3.

Which do you recommend?
But don't these have to be bought?

There are plenty of free newsreaders around. Xnews, XanaNews, Dialog,
Free Agent, to name a few of the most popular for Windows.

If the OP is using Windows XP (which is highly possible from his headers)
then he *CAN'T* uninstall OE.

Hello David.

Go here - and it's very free:

http://www.yenc32.com/

Have a look at the tutorials, and perhaps drag a bookmark (the IE icon in
the address window of your browser) from there to your desktop for easy
reference the first few times you do the "OE binary dance" - and pictures
is a very good place to start, I might add. A "training exercise" as it
were, because if you're like most folks, you'll enjoy it and want to try
more complicated things, for which you will most assuredly desire to obtain
and learn a specialty newsreader - in your own time. And there are several
decent ones available for free. Using the Yenc tool above will help you
understand how to download and assemble some of the more complicated
binaries later. But, you will see this in due time. Good luck, and most
of all, enjoy!


Best wishes to all for a safe and joyous holiday season.

To me boxing is like a ballet,
except there's no music,
no choreography,
and the dancers hit each other
until the loser cries like a little girl,
or does that whole go-to-sleep thing.

Some people would do anything to get out of finishing the dance.

And you speak even MORE total CRAP. All that does, if you take the time to
READ THE DIALOG - is to remove ACCESS to OE. It does NOT, I REPEAT NOT,
uninstall it.
What a ****ING PLONKER YOU ARE.
