How to decrypt yEnc?

I didn't expect that much of a saving by sending that file in Yenc. As you
probably know jpg files are already heavily compressed so that was a
surprise. The sooner Outlook Express can read these Yenc files the better.

I use "yproxy". It will cost $17 and it is well worth it. I used to hate
it when someone posted in yenc.

This is sure to be unpopular, but I've seeing "no Yenc" comments -
rules, sometimes - on newsgroups for at least 10 years or so. That was
chiefly because people didn't want to pay up for it (or even, to pay
at all).

resolution but with reduced file size; for newsgroup users who
download binaries, in fact, it's a real service.

10 years on and the world has gone from Windows Diddly Squat to Vista.
I think we should embrace the future. In my case, I paid something
minimal for a proper version of Agent (www.forteinc.com) and have
never given it a second thought in all the years since.

It's even more encouraging to see that there are free Yenc decoders
available now.

Ok, here's my question - and it's a real question, not a position. Is there
a non-porn photo group where yEnc is the norm?

nope

No, but I am starting to see complaints about it there again as well....
When it first came out it was a flame war there until the yEnc'ers seemed to
have won the fight (if not the argument), and it bacame the defacto norm
(for better or worse, like it or not). But now the debate is starting again
as yEnc's advantages are being eroded away by the growth of high speed.

Well, you can use a real news-reader... ;o)

The best one (and I tested a lot of softs before to chose mine), in my
mind, is "Mes News". You can find it the http://www.mesnews.net/gb/
(free and in English)

I agree. Don't know about Mes News but I've used Pan (on Windows) just
because it supports yEnc natively. I got tired of OE bogging down the old
tired PII box I had; it spent its 400 MHz looking for hyperlinks! Pan solved
that easily.

Feel free to try Mes News. I'm sure you will be amazed by this soft,
light but very powerful. It can even run on an USB key! I really don't
understand why some people continue ro use OE...

They continue because their learning curve has finally flattened out and
they are comfortable with that. Can't say as I blame them. Look at me, I'm
posting with OE right now because it is familiar and because it got me
connected. My last Pan install didn't go right after I built this box and I
didn't feel like mucking around to figure out why. So its OE for now.
Couple of things I like about Pan that OE won't do besides yEnc: 1)Pan
will sort your downloads to any folder you choose. I always grabbed j3's
images and put them in a j3 folder then used the XP slideshow to view the
whole bunch. 2)Pan will download several threads at once compared to OE's
single thread. Pick your threads and their destination folders and walk
away.

.... or give XanaNews a try. It's free, handles these yEnc files fine,
and was written by an a.b.p.aviation fan - me!

First of all, quit using Outlook Express to read newsgroups. yEnc
isn't the only thing OE won't do. Go here and get a decent newsreader
(free or paid options). Agent decodes yEnc files just fine.

I've been using this program for 15 years or so. Occasionally try some
others, but have always ended up back with Agent. It's also very easy
to learn unlike some of the others I have tried.
