![]() "Clairbear" wrote 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 WHO are YOU to say what is a good newsreader, or not? If he likes it, I like it, and thousands of others like it, it must be plenty good, for our needs. Who is to say Yenc is an improvement, for that matter? Not me, or many others. -- Jim in NC |

If it goes YENC, I'm leaving. gdp 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. gdp |

Tell would you want to power your car with a 1 cylinder 2 stroke engine or would you rather have a good auto engine of 4 cylinders or more. But then since I have never seen post of any pics here I guess your rudeness would be less pardonable than from someone who has share photos here As to this whole yenc or not argument her I don't use it to post but my newsreader can decode itand it can rejoin multipart post OE can't do that ergo OE is an inferior news reader. fit for newbies and those who are stuck in the last century. |

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.

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. |

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

As for newsreader you may have tried I would bet the were some primitive attempts building the better mousetrap |
