yEnc business, when will Outlook Express support it?

This yEnc business, more and more e-books are using it. I have tried
several of these decoders at the suggestion of various well meaning people
and none work for me. Is there any chance Microsoft will accept what the
world does and make Outlook work with yEnc?

Have you tried Yenc32? It works for me on WinXP Pro. You have to save the
combined yEnc message as a test file to your hard drive, then run Yenc32 to
decode. The only time I have a problem is when the download is corrupted.
I must admit I'm a bit p.o.ed about having to go the extra step.

Also from what I understand the newreader Free Agent handle these files
natively. There is also a paid version with more features called Agent.
You might give either one of these a try as your newsreader. I tried the
Free Agent, but didn't like the interface. I'm just used to OE, I guess.

Personally, I doubt if Outlook Express will ever support yEnc.

That OE is a nasty habit, one you should break yourself of ASAP!
I've used Agent (registered) for 8 years now...wouldn't think of using
anything else.

Ditto. I actually paid for it grin also.
X news (freeware) isn't too bad either, but I stayed with Agent.
Frankly, with Agent & other options out there, I can't image going
through the torture (and I mean that) of using OE for binaries.

YEnc decoding in Outlook Express is possible with YDecode - After you install it, it enables you to read YEnc stuff directly into Outlook Express preview window. You can download it from www.ydecode.com
