I just have to get it off my chest.

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.

I have used several newsreaders in the past in crulding OE and like so
many of Bill gates' product I found OE to be lacking all of the features
I just mentioned If you want to believe in Bill and microsloth that's
all fine and goo but I used OE when I was a newbie and found it wanting
and found xnews is soooo much better.
As for newsreader you may have tried I would bet the were some
primitive attempts building the better mousetrap


It's interesting that my copy of OE will do the things that your copy won't.
