I do not like yEnc because it really does not save any space on the size
of posts being brought to this forum or any other JPEG forum for that
matter, but that is for the yEncers to justify.

Wikipedia disagrees: "yEnc is a binary-to-text encoding scheme for
transferring binary files in messages on Usenet or via e-mail. It reduces
the overhead over previous US-ASCII-based encoding methods by using an 8-
bit Extended ASCII encoding method. yEnc's overhead is often as little as
1–2%, compared to 33%–40% overhead for 6-bit encoding methods like uuencode
and Base64. With decreased overhead, the encoded message body is smaller.
Therefore, the message can be delivered faster and requires less storage
space."

Even Jeremy Nixon, the guy who put up "Why yEnc is bad for Usenet"
disagrees with you. "The main premise behind yEnc is lower overhead for
encoded binaries. The usual methods of encoding a binary for Usenet
transmission, uuencode and base64, both result in more than a 33% increase
in file size after encoding. yEnc, on the other hand, results in only a
tiny overhead, meaning the posts are smaller.
