Is it possible not to use yEnc in the future, so everybody can enjoy your
pictures

Thanks, Willem



That was JPEG.


yEnc in the compression scheme that is used to make files smaller when
they are transmitted over the Internet, and can be applied to any large
digital file, including music files such as mp3, flac, etc. JPEG, GIF,
etc., and schemes for compression picture files. A JPEG is a JPEG,
whether it's yEnced or not.

Iım not a fan of yEnc, but it's been here for a while and is fairly
common, so any newsreader program worth it's salt should decode it.
Mine does with absolutely no difficulty. Apparently Internet Express
has trouble with it. Can't the geniuses at Microsoft fix this over
their lunch hour?
