A Rare P-39 restored in Adelaide - 9 News.wmv [1/7]

I recently had to replace my old Dell laptop with a new computer. The
new one is furnidhed with Windows 7. Microsoft, in their infinite
wisdom, have left out Outlook Express from their latest and greatest
offering. I am now using Thunderbird to read the newsgroup, but as far
as I can determine it lacks the ability to combine multipart files.

Can anyone advise me on whether there is a way to induce Thunderbird to
do this, or can anyone suggest a newsreader that has the ability to
combine multipart files?

Thanks

Windows Live Mail does that, similar to OE. It's not great, not even as good
as OE but it works and the learning curve is maybe not as steep. Free DL

I use Xnews, on XP, not sure about windows 7
some folks like it, some don,t whatever your cup of tea..

can handle multipart files , but does so a little different and I think
that turns folks off .

I was not able to get my OE to play these files on Windows Media Player,
even after I combined it. I have combined files and viewed them many times
before, but it did not work for this set. Anyone else have any problems?

That's a worry.


I know this doesn't count for anything, but I just downloaded it myself, and
it worked fine. I use Windows Mail, which is like OE's special brother.


Maybe your player is missing a codec or two. As an experiment if you
haven't done this already, try VLC media player. So far I haven't found a
format or codec that it didn't like - or at least put up with.

Works here, and she is a Bell Belle indeed.

VLC will play just about anything. I spent an enjoyable hour watching
a peanut butter sandwich with it the other day - and the computer
wasn't even on... ahh, hypoxia.

I've just downloaded it using Forte Agent. It did not appear as a
multi-part file so, presumably, Agent assembled it automatically.
Played OK in Windows Media Player.

Also try SMPlayer that is a freebe download and appears to play most
formats.

Another freebe is Gspot that will tell you which codecs are required and
whether they are already installed.

I've used various versions of Forte Agent over the years. It combines
multipart postings automatically & does yENC & UUE. Thr version I use
now is 6.0. After downloading it, the video played just fine in
Windows Media Player.
