My ISP lists that newsgroup but when I try to use it no contents are
available. Have you downloaded an yenc decoder yet? I downloaded a
windows one called yEnc32. I haven't found a newsgroup that had any yenc
files in it, at least using Pan newsreader. I kinda recall from years
ago I would download all the messages associated with a picture file
into a folder and then point my yenc decoder to the contents of that folder.
If the contents of all the associated messages are not too big, can you
download them and then post them in a file-sharing website somewhere
that I can try to work with?
