Color me ignorant, but what is Yenc and why the heck does it format
posts so they're unreadable with a basic news reader app?


Same question...

It's just another protocol for encapsulating images, nothing more, and
isn't supported by the mainstream clients. The main objection to it
is you need a separate decoder/encoder to use it for download/uploads.

There are always a few that like to make their excuses for using
something the mainstram doesn't use and most of the time it's so they
can feel superior, but superior to what is anyone's guess. For
computer viewing and every-day printing needs, it's no improvement
over anything. Google will give you lots of info onthe pros & cons of
it.

OK, I'm biting.....

Why not answer the question like you did in the first part of your
(somewhat coloured) reply and then QUIT!!!!

A real good and proper answer would also include referrals to programs
with which one can view these files, leaving the original poster the
choice wether to go there and use one or not.
