Clem, upgrade to what? Why should I upgrade (or install unwanted
programmes) when all you need to do is resize your pictures
before you post them. The best pictures on this NG come from
Glenn (IMO) and we don't have to install any upgraded software to
view his images, so what is so special about yours? If you can't
take his lead, maybe you are the loser and we have missed
nothing....

This is just an open thought not directed at anyone in
particular.


Regarding YENC:


There does come a point when to stay current, you MUST upgrade.




This group has decided to be YENC-free and has reaffirmed the
decision many times. If it goes YENC, I'm leaving.

don't get you panties in a twist there Don
It really should not matter yenc or not if you have a good
newsreader OE is not a good newreader BTW

"Good" is a matter of opinion. OE sends and receives email, it has
a broad group of filters, it doesn't force me to open anything I
don't want to read, it reads from and posts to newsgroups, it
combines and decodes.....just what would make it "good"? YENC???
From my experience, anyone who says OE is trash simply doesn't know
how to use it.

OE is fine for email but as a newsreader it is stuck in the darkages
There several fine newreader that would make posting and reading far
simpler If you want to stay in the dark ages that is fine but don't
attack those who post in an easily readable format. If you use a more
up to date reader you can see what is posted by those who choose to
use yenc. As for me when I post I don'y use yenc but I have no
problem with those who do.
"It is better to light one single candle than to curse the darkness"


I had no intent of attacking anyone, if I did, I apologize. Please
tell me the virtues of other newsreaders that make them easier to use
than OE.




Xnews can read all headers at once OE can't
It can decode and rejoin multiaprt posts without other steps
It can download an entire stream of posts where as You have to manually
read each and every one with OE
I could go on and on but Xnews and other similar to are just more
efficient and easier that OE
What would it harm for you to try one or more to see if they work
better

Of course if you are not willing to try you'll never know.

Um...thanks for the prompt reply but you haven't told me anything that OE
can't do. It can do all the things you say it can't. Perhaps you are one of
those who don't know how to use it.

And, I'll bet you a years wages that you don't know what other newsreaders I
have tried.
