Yes, it works. I don't know what's wrong. Sorry.

Frank Saunders ...

Thank you for your time.

In response to your comment ...
"That could be caused if it is a format that OE does not understand, like
yEnc."

... however, my mirror machine, same OE ... no IE7, just IE6, has no
problem with the files and, does Combine & Decode the same files that OE
could not on the machine with IE7

Frank, are you able to duplicate/test this on your 'test machine?' Takes
about 5 minutes.

1. Create a 'temp' folder in OE "Local Folders"
2. Copy some binaries into 'temp' ...
3. Combine & Decode ...
4. Did it work?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I closed the Preview Pane from View | Layout and I did try again.

Results were the same. As 'combine and decode' came to an end it opened
a new window, and before I could 'save' it started searching for
hyperlinks and went non-responsive.

On my 'other' machine the Preview Pane is open and it still works.

Thanks again Frank.

Take care.

Good Day ...

This is a follow-up to my earlier posts relating to the fact that I
can not 'combine & decode' binaries in Outlook Express since I have
updated to IE7.

On my 'mirror' machine ... everything identical to the machine that is
having the 'combine & decode' problem except mirror does not have
IE7, still on the latest patch release of IE6 ... I chose a newsgroup,
copied all files to a temp folder in my Local Folders area. The file
had 98 rar files plus PAR files. When combining and decoding, I
selected a group of 8 rar files at a time, combined and decoded, and
then saved to 'decoded' temp area on my hard drive. All went very
well, and very fast. Total size = 1.6gb; test was a success.

On my 'problem' machine, I tried the same test. Not able to complete
a group of rar files ... Outlook Express started searching for '
hyperlinks' and became non-responsive; test failed.

Test results:

Failu machine with Outlook Express and IE7
Success: machine with Outlook Express and IE6

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time, consideration, and help.
Take care.
