Actually, Thunderbird does do yEnc. Unfortunately, it only does files
that are properly formatted. I can usually see about half of all yEnc
posts.

I stand corrected. That means that it's only MSOE that has the problem.

There is no problem with MSOE if you download OeyEnc Loader plugin from:
http://www.mutexed.com/code/OeyEnc/ either.
I've been using it for at least 3 years with absolutely no problem and
100% success. Once you have installed it, you don't even know that it is
there.
It's amazing how many of the detractors state that they refuse to download
anything from the web because of dangers, install any software that isn't
on MSOE or change anything on their computer from the original setup. Do
they ever run MS update (or even know what it is), run an antivirus and
firewall or anti-malware program. I wonder who they blame when their
machine starts doing strange things because its been hacked.
But the ones that make me laugh are the ones that can't see yEnc posts,
refuse to do anything about it but go on and on and on and on about it.
It's like a Monty Python argument sketch. I wonder what sort of aircraft
these people would fly? One with twisty wings made in 1904 I guess.
Or are they just Trolls?

I'm using this and it works................BUT........only when all the
multi-part messages are available. For some reason yEnc posters love big
pics and small multi-part messages, end result is that enough parts always
go missing as to make the whole exercise a huge waste of time.
