speak for yourself. not all of us still live in the dark ages, some
are forward thinking & open to new technologies

Let us know when one a new format comes along that is enough of an
improvement to make a switch worthwhile. yEnc isn't one of them that is
worthwhile.

Don't switch just to switch, when what is the recognized format still
works fine.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I'll bet you switched to Vista when it first came out, too.

I doubt anyone will change your mind. I know you won't change my mind, or
many others, so don't speak for us, either.

All this fuss about yEnc has gone on for years now It really is no problem
I use xnews and it decodes it fine so it's really no issue except for those
who make it one

Sure, as long as everyone wants to use what you use, no problem. As long as
you want to PAY and learn a new program, no big deal. Not at all, since
your view is surely the only right view, right?

Jim, I would hate to admit to the whole world that I could not learn to use
the FREE Xnews in an hour or two.

Way back in the 1990's before IE and OE, my first ISP provided a start-up
package that consisted of Netscape Navigator for web surfing, Eudora for
e-mail and NewsXpress for something that I had never heard of...News
Groups, something similar to Bulletin Boards as it was explained to me.
No instructions were provided for any of the applications that ran under
Windows 3.0.

Building on NewsXpress, a talented programer named Luu Tran designed a
news reader for himself and then once satisfied with its performance, he
decided to share it with the world as "Freeware". It is very customizable,
which does take perhaps half an hour to set-up to suit one's preferences.

Yes...I have "tried" OE as a news reader....No thanks. As with most add-ons
provided by MS for windows, they are not nearly as complete as third-party
applications.

I have to laugh at the yenc argument that pops up every once in awhile.
There is no program to download, no program to learn, and it is no big
deal. Your newsreader, if you have a good one, will automatically
decode yenc and many other schemes *for free and nothing to learn*.

PAY? no pay and nothing really to learn.

Yes, but that is *if and only if* the yEnc posting software has followed
the RFC's that describe how a Usenet posting is to be formed.

Most, sadly, do not.

Oh, for those who may be interested, start with http://rfc-editor.org/
and search on "Usenet" if you want to learn.

Damme! There has been activity, RFC's 5536 and 5537 are up, dated
November 2009, obsoleting 1036. It seems I have some reading to do!

Cheers,

I never said that. I could learn a new program in no time, I'm sure. The
point is, I LIKE the program I am using, and have no need to change. I
don't need to use a non standard format that someone thinks is so much
better.
