Tom Koch ...

Thanks for the help Tom.

1. I went to Layout and turned off Preview Pane
2. I grabbed 10 files from a newsgroup and copied to a folder in my Local
Folder area
3. I selected all 10 files and then selected Combine and Decode from
the Message tab, and then clicked ok.
4. Within seconds the combining and decoding was coming to an end ...
then the results were coming up and, the 'searching for hyperlinks'
appeared, CPU usage shot up, the combining and decoding became ' non
responsive ' and unable to save the results.

Needless to say ... I am really confused. I have downloaded and installed
IE7 ... and that is all I've added to my system, except 'spyware' and 'virus
ware' updates. Before IE7, I could combine and decode anything.

Any more clues Tom ?

Am I reporting/asking in the correct NewsGroup?

Thanks Tom.
Take care.

... Sometimes I would run into the 'searching for hyperlinks.'

You will only see that if the Preview pane is open, or if you open a yenc
message. Turn off the preview pane when you're working in binaries
newsgroups. You can add a button to the news toolbar to toggle that.
