Michael Santovec ...

.... thank you for your time, consideration, and direction.
.... I will follow-up on your suggestions
.... A note: I have been using yEnc & OE to deal with binary files for over
two years ... some monster files. My problems have just started since IE7
download and installation.
.... Sometimes I would run into the 'searching for hyperlinks.' Now,
regardless of file size to combine & decode, I get the 'searching for
hyperlinks' every time. CPU usage shoots up to 100% and memory usage
approaches max.
.... I just deleted .dbt files in my 'Store Folder' ... about 10.7 gb;
still get the 'searching for hyperlinks.'
.... I do have .dbx files in same 'Store Folder' and I did not touch them.
Thanks again.

That's a problem with yEnc and OE and using a back-end decoder. Once the
combine and decode completes, it looks like a text message and OE goes
through searching for hyperlinks. I'm only surprised that this is a new
issue, unless you have just recently started dealing with yEnc or in the
past only dealt with small yEnc attachments.

The workaround, if you want to use yEnc with OE is to use a front-end
decoder which installs as a news server proxy and converts yEnc to
Uuencode as it downloads before passing to OE. That way, as long as you
have the Preview Pane turned off, OE will decode the Uuencode to an
attachment and avoid the searching issue.

See the yEnc section of :

for some links to yEnc proxy options.

Good Evening ...

I hope all is well in your domain.

I have Windows XP2, latest patch level, IE7 as of 1 week and Outlook
Express 6. Before IE7 the following problem did not exist.

I use Outlook for Newsgroup file capturing and all has gone well until
lately.

1. I obtain files from a newsgroup, in 'yenc' format.
2. I copy those files to a separate folder in Outlook
3. I then mark off a selection of the copied files, and select Combine
and Decode from 'Message' in the tool bar
4. When things go right I would save the combined and decoded
information as 'email' and later decode it with 'Yenc32'
5. Lately, I do not get the chance to save the file, as 'searching
message for hyperlinks' appears and sucks up all my computer resources.
I am not able to save the file and, many times must invoke ...
Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get out of Outlook Express.
6. I have scanned for MalWare, Virii, defragged, cleaned up my disk, and
more ... no luck.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

I will heed your instructions.

Thank you.
