Just regard them as being a bit dim and remember to drop a few coins in the
charity box so they will looked after :-)

Ah. Another MSOE/MS Mail user heard from. Pity about your crippled
newsreader...

John yenc is not a problem if you use a news reader like xnews

The problem is not only Yenc! And Yenc is a problem because I do not want to
add a yenc reader on my already overcrowded old PC. But that is my problem.
When somebody floods the group with a lot of pictures in most of the cases
not more than one half of the pieces show on my PC. There are always some
parts missing and it is impossible for me to open the damn things with
whatsoever software. I lose this way many pics and who posted them, for me
to see them, wasted his time. Thanks to Mitch and all those who continue to
post simple Jpg etc. I lost all of Br'er Rabid
o and most of J3
So is up to you.
ciao

(snip)

Fabio, I have never posted anything in any group
using yEncoding. If you missed these pictures I
posted in the last 24 hours, it had to be because
they were multi-part files. I did not reduce them
down to a smaller jpg size.

Just a suggestion here... but you've seen the little
wars about yEnc/MSOE. One thing that I haven't seen
argued is that MSOE is also a big fat memory hog.

It is.

You might consider uninstalling MSOE completely.

My guess is that you use an email service that is
not dependant on MSOE (e.g. Hotmail). Make a back
up of your system, then un-ass MSOE (and a few
others MicroSoft-related, which escape me at the
moment). Then use smaller, independent programs.
Most are *tiny* in size compared to MSOE.
They are also more memory-thrifty. They will cure
the common MSOE ills encountered in usenet.

The learning curve on most are smaller compared to
MSOE. Try 'em out! Ask questions. You'll save room
on your harddrive, conserve memory, maybe get more
life out of your current computer and be much
happier.

The disclaimer is that there *are* people who have
been able to utilize MSOE without any problems, I
just don't know any of them. I like my little XNews
program mainly because I'm an old-time command-line
guy... But anyone can use it however they wish.

I'm NOT anti-MicroSoft. I'm running this computer on
Vista. BUT... I do HATE MS-Word. I'm still using the
word processor which does stuff the way I want to do
it, rather than the other way around.

By the way, I've enjoyed (and snagged) your posts.
Thanks

Fabio,

I keep forgetting to include in arguments,
the MAJOR reason to get rid of MSOE.

FINALLY I remembered it!

One thing about MSOE that makes it *the*
program to NOT have on your computer...

How many viruses, trojans, etc. are designed
to attack MSOE? I have no clue, but I would
bet that in the last 5 years, 70% of all of
the junk the ****heads write is aimed directly
at that great big bulls-eye on your computer...
the program called MSOE.

Br'er Rabid

Thanks for suggestions. For different reasons (provider, terms of contract
for the ADSL connection etc) I am not supposed to change MSOE and my PC is
over crowded with SW. I know you posted multi part files and for me that
it's the problem. Of your last batch I got just half or less. For instance
: of your Assorted Militaria (read the Zero file) - File 33 of 37 -
AG-Fighter__47.rar (01/94) out of 94 I got only 40 bit and pieces.
It is not your fault. I'm sorry I am missing so many beautiful pictures.
That's all folks
thanks again
ciao
Fabio
