YENC is not a great format. Just use jpg like everyone else please. yEnc is an encoding scheme, not a graphics format. It can be used to post any type of binary. It's primary advantage is a reduction in the as-posted size of a file by some 39% over the more common Uuencode. It seems that the most often cited reason for universal hatred of yEnc is that Outhouse Depressed doesn't support it, a rather weak argument at best. -- HP, aka Jerry Don't be a fop or a blooter, make only pithy comments on Usenet |

But after missing heaps of posts, I gave up and ended up downloading a small program from the sight attached below. It creates a shortcut on the desk top called 'OeyEnc Loader' which opens 'Outlook Express' and allows it to read yEnc post so long as the yEnc is written into the subject heading. http://www.mutexed.com/code/OeyEnc/#faq Regards....Chris |

The whole thing is a bloody nuisance - flooding the group with a useless
number of downloads. It spoils an otherwise enjoyable evening for me .....................Leslie "Chris D" wrote in message u... "michael hoare" wrote in message ...

It creates a shortcut on the desk top called 'OeyEnc Loader' which opens 'Outlook Express' and allows it to read yEnc post so long as the yEnc is written into the subject heading. This is exactly the same I am using, however, the problem with the most recent YEnc posts lies within you last sentence, "so long as the yEnc is written into the subject heading". Unfortunately, the person posting it (oh so wiesly chosing yEnc as a handle) ignored this most important rule about yEnc. It is imparative the term is to be included in the subject line so that either we can read the posts or others, who simply do not wish to read yEn posts at all (for w/e reason) can properly filter them. Some folks really seem to be lacking certain manners... :/ |

I have the means to see all of them. But I fully agree with you that they should consider others when posting. Lots of folks are still on dial-up....money the economy or whatever. These are the folks I feel for. Some folks are not internet savvy and that's okay, but you and others have made it to the newsgroups and I think that's great. There is absolutely NO need for folks to invest in software or newsgroup providers if their ISP carries newsgroups. I do however have XNEWS and that's great for viewing and it's free. I think the biggest gripe is that the power posters don't even include an index. If they did then you could choose the photos that you wanted to download. Indexes are easy to make......it just boils down to lazyness. It's sad that the time and effort that folks take to post the stuff and more than half will not view them. Sad! Now I'm sure that someone will come along and say tough. But that just shows how selfish the person is. I know one that will bite on this post in a milliesecond...lol JRW |

And then there is the issue of flooding. What is wrong with posting just a dozen or so images per day? Is there some urgency that requires a whole series to uploaded all at once? Flooding, well okay, *but at least provide indexes*. Then at least you can choose what you want to see. Frankly I, along with others don't even look. The few loud mouths that do THINK they speak for the rest of us, look...lol You would think, after all the DON'T DO IT posts they'd get a clue. No, it's pure to disrupt and gain attention. Nothing else. They do it because they can, and don't give a flying whazzo if anyone looks at their posts. They post on topic, but don't give a **** about the most of the folks that would view them. I agree a few dozen a day is best. No one is "waiting" for these. A few posts like you said per day would be great. You'll never change their spots....killfile is the best. Damn shame! |
