DGuess ...

Thank you again.

Correct. As the Combine & Decode process ends, a window pops up with the
Combined & Decoded file waiting for some action to be taken on it.

I just never get to save it.

Thanks again.

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.

That's one you can't get around and is where you're seeing the searching for
hyperlinks thru the yENC file and a 700 meg one at that.

Just looked on Forte's web site and it says they've retired Free Agent. I
haven't had a need for a binary ready in sometime so I'm behind on that
part. WHatever, it can still be downloaded at the link below, it's v1.93 and
I don't know if it supported yENC or not. Even if it doesn't, you can still
combine the yENC file and use a yENC decoder to get the file without the
searching for hyperlinks.

$30 for it still isn't bad to get the latest version and get all abilities
without the hassles for addons.

You need to use a yEnc proxy that intercepts the download and converts it to a
format OE understands. This one seems popular and cheap:

Tom Koch ...

Thanks Tom; your suggestions are appreciated.

I will look into everything; thanks.

As I mentioned, I have received some great assistance from this NewsGroup
.... the rest of the world could learn a lesson from this NewsGroup.

Take care.

When it makes that one big file, you don't have a choice on the preview as
it will do that. On a large file, whew, your stuck.

I'd suggest looking into Forte's Free Agent, it can handle binaries and
doesn't need a yenc add-on. Most posts don't need a combine as it will do
it on it's on but you will see some occasionally.

OE just isn't set for binary files.

DGuess ...

Thank you for the help.

After I have finished with the decoding of newsgroup files I do the
following:
1. I select Tools, then Options, then Maintenance, and Clean up now. I
then select Reset and after that Compact.

2. The current file has pieces that are 253kb each and total file size
about 700mb.

When I start to 'combine' a selected portion to 'combine & decode' the
process never lets me select File and then Save. Instead, it displays
'searching message for hyperlinks' , grabs 100% of the processor and most
of the memory by a process called 'msimn.exe'

Thanks again for your help.
Take care.

Do you happen to remove old messages after reading and decodingor leave
them in OE?

What sizes are the DBX files for those newsgroups? Might have to delete
some old messages then back up the message store then do a File \
Compact All. (Note the backup first).

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.

Jim Hughes
