Don't expect Microsoft to ever support yEnc.

Another option is to use a decoder such as yProxy. It converts the yEnc
to Uuencode as the message downloads before OE see it.. Then OE decodes
the Uuencode. You won't get the searching in the combined message since
OE will recognize it as an attachment rather than just text.

For some additional information, see yEnc section of:

Is there a solution to this? Any help would be appreciated.

Try disabling the preview pane. Some have reported this helps.

I've done this a long time ago for general security reasons. Did more
searching for the answer to this problem and it appears that one
answer is to wait for a version of OE that supports yEnc.
