Then refine it again with "plug-in". But in the end it's not worth the candle. (Been there. Done that.) OE is not the best choice for serious downloading of multipart binaries, whether or not they've been yenc'd. For binary downloading I use a yenc-enabled newsreader. (X-news http://xnews.newsguy.com/ does a very nice job and you can't beat the price.) I use OE strictly for text. -- Bob http://www.kanyak.com |

As much I like outlook Express for text newsgroups, it's not really the best choice for binary newsgroups, especially for those that use yEnc. If I were you, I would investigate some of the other available newsgroup choices. Do a google search to find them. They are usually freeware or shareware, so you can try several to see which you prefer. -- Ken Blake - microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

It's incomprehensible let alone inexcusable that OE doesn't yet support yEnc as long as it has been used for binaries. Actually I consider OE at the absolute bottom of the list as newsreader and e-mail program. agent is probably the best overall newsreader, but there are good freebies as well. XNews is one of the best, and it fully supports yEnc. XNews is available here: http://www.download.com/Xnews/3000-2164_4-10144167.html And there's some good info on setup and use here: http://www.slyck.com/xnews.php There is admittedly a bit of a learning curve associated with XNews, but I've yet to see a newsreader that's completely intuitive.

True, but from a personal statepoint, since I never use binary newsgroups, it doesn't matter to me. > Actually I consider OE at the absolute bottom of the list as > newsreader and e-mail program. agent is probably the best overall > newsreader, but there are good freebies as well. Your choice, of course. In my view, there is no best or worst, and it's always a personal choice (as it is with almost any category of software). We all work differently and have different likes and dislikes. And features that you might consider necessary may be useless to me, and vice versa. Agent was the first newsreader I ever used. I liked it well enough, but when I tried outlook Express, I liked it better because I preferred its interface and because it fit my way of working better.Over the years I've tried almost all the well-known newsreaders and keep coming back to outlook Express, which I continue to like the best, especially with the addition of OE-Quotefix. -- Ken Blake - microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |
