I had heard of the free OeyEnc plugin for OE several months ago but was
leery of messing with it at that time. I went ahead and downloaded
yesterday and installed and WOW - it works great. I don't particularly like
yenc encoded pics in here but the e-book groups use it almost exclusively.
It just saved me a tremendous amount of time in that I didn't have to wait
for OE to look for the hyperlinks and the "save as" which can take a long
time if a lot of parts. Plus I didn't have to use NewzToolz to decode it
after it finally was downloaded - its all done in the background. I was
completely impressed and highly recommend it to the OE folks (like me). Its
free and simple to install and no learning curve in using it.
