My newsreader doesn't understand it.


Neither does mine.

Ah well, that explains it Mike, OS-X based. When it works on a
platform that holds maybe 5% of the market share, that means "ALL"
modern newsreaders.


Even Agent supports yEnc, which is what I use on my Windows machine. I
guess I'm not familiar with the readers that DON'T support yEnc.

I use Netscape 4.8 to read newsgroups. I have Xnews, wich does
support Yenc, but it is a pain to use, compared to Netscape.

I have a couple mac-crap computers. They make nice, hevy doorstops.
I prefer the imacs since they have no sharp corners to cut my legs.

I have been doing free tech support for a freind's business. He told
me recently that he plans to replace all his windows XP computers with
mac. He'll also have to pay someone to keep his network up & running.
