Please help. Thanks in advance
Get a newsreader. You are using outlook which will never on its own use yencode. There are ways around it but the easiest and best is Agent Forte or other good newsreader. joevan
Please read previous posts explaining this. Don't forget www.google.com What is yenc? Results 1 - 25 of about 88,800 for what is yenc?. (0.22 seconds) yEnc.org What is yEnc ? ... But also there would be potential for savings. The naming - yEnc ?! You might ask why the name of this thing is "yEnc" - yEncoding, yDecoding. ... www.yenc.org/whatis.htm - 5k - Cached - Similar pages [ More results from www.yenc.org ] Combine and Decode, try the application Help pages. For OE simply press F1 to open help and search for 'combine and decode' you don't even need to type it all in before the help system finds it. Combine and Decode from the often mentioned and reposted gangle post (a 2003 version). To assemble a multi-part post using Outlook Express, click part 1, then, while holding down the Ctrl key, click each of the remaining parts. When you have highlighted the last part, Right click and choose "Combine and Decode." Make sure all parts are in order in the window that pops up, then click "OK." When all parts have downloaded and been decoded, a window will appear with the File Icon in the bottom left corner (OE4) or in the "Attach" line (OE5 & 6). Right click on the icon, choose "save as" and, within the browser window that appears, choose "Desktop" as the place to initially save it. If you want to keep it, you can later CUT and PASTE it from Desktop to any folder you want. IMPORTANT NOTE: In OE4 it is possible to download a multi-part binary while simultaneously reading or posting to other NGs, or reading/sending email -- But: in the "upgraded" OE5 & 6, downloading a multi-part file makes the program UNUSABLE for most other functions while the process goes on; so, if you frequently want to download multi-part binary files, it's more practical to use a dedicated news reading and posting program, such as Agent ("Full" Agent @ $29 -- NOT Free Agent): http://www.forteinc.com/agent/index.htm or Xnews (free): http://xnews.newsguy.com/ or Gravity (free): http://lightning.prohosting.com/~tbates/gravity/start1.html for downloading binaries. Also, for $35, there is Newsbin, which is strictly for downloading binaries: http://www.newsbin.com/ . You could still use OE5 or 6 as an email program and to view/post to text-only NGs, while using one of the above programs to retrieve binaries. Note: OE does not internally decode yEnc messages. You must use a third-party program to acheive this, the easiest being yProxy: http://www.brawnylads.com/software/ Again, I suggest that, for binaries, it would be more practical to just switch to one of the dedicated newsreaders mentioned above, which all handle yEnc internally.
