I use OeyEnc and it seems to work just fine for many yEnc messages - but not
all. I believe this means that yEnc is not yet standardized.

I also have yProxy. You have to search around to find it for free, and I
have to have my son set it up for me. But it decodes a much higher
percentage of messages than OeyEnc.

I have downloaded the X-News setup file, but have not yet installed it. I
would be interested to hear what users think of it.

I had heard of the free OeyEnc plugin for OE several months ago but was
leery of messing with it at that time. I went ahead and downloaded
yesterday and installed and WOW - it works great. I don't particularly
like yenc encoded pics in here but the e-book groups use it almost
exclusively. It just saved me a tremendous amount of time in that I didn't
have to wait for OE to look for the hyperlinks and the "save as" which can
take a long time if a lot of parts. Plus I didn't have to use NewzToolz to
decode it after it finally was downloaded - its all done in the background.
I was completely impressed and highly recommend it to the OE folks (like
me). Its free and simple to install and no learning curve in using it.
