Stop moaning or I'll use bitmap incase someone doesn't have a jpeg

Not all that many years ago, my old Amiga 4000 lacked that very
decoder. Then it got a (slow) one...

On the subject of yenc, I just flicked through a batch of yenc photos,
and they popped up over three times faster than the uu ones. Either
it's cause they're smaller, or the processing required is faster.

The encoding is 30% smaller than with Unicode.

The pictures come up instantly in Agent if they're yenced. UUs take
about a second. I'd say the difference is something like a factor of
3 or 4.

A guy goes to a psychiatrist.
"I'm in love with my horse," says the guy. "I desire my horse!"
"I see," says the shrink. "What kind of horse is it? Male or female?"
"Female of course! Do I look like some sort of pervert?"
