I have often wondered why. Why would someone post in yEnc, when only
a small percentage of people can view the image. Why not post in GIF
or in JPG when EVERYONE can view it.

No, I am not interested in reading all the comparisons of the good and
evil
of yEnc. I am just a simple person, with simple wants and needs. Not
interested
in looking for software, download it and running it so that I too can view
yEnc.
I neither like it nor do I dislike it. I just don't use it.

I hope that this post will NOT start any flame wars.

Exactly. Windows will view a GIF, JPG, and many other formats.

You would think that someone looking for HELP on an issue would make it the
most easily available possible, fer cryin' out loud. But no, in order to
help the OP, WE should go and find and install something.

Seems strange to me...

Let's hope not!

You still get GIFs and JPGs in yEnc. The image compression format (JPG
or GIF) is the same when yEnc is used.

Currently UUEncode is the scheme used to encode and transmit most JPGs
and GIFs over the Internet.

Apparently using yEnc instead of UUEncode results in significantly
smaller files being sent over the Internet. That's all that I know
about it. Smaller files can be a big advantage to people with slower
Internet connections.

I have no idea what percentage of images are sent via yEnc.

Many, many people do yEnc, Ken.

yEnc is extremely rude to use on Usenet, WHAT does it matter that it SHOULD
be easier to decode? WHAT purpose does it have except to show "look at me,
I'm a really savvy techy person who has no Windows computers anywhere in my
life!". Sheesh, it's ruder than HTML. Of course, Ken G. can't understand why
we all just don't post JPG's on rec.antiques.radio+phono.

Well the purpose of yEnc is to have smaller files sent over the
Internet. That saves bandwidth and makes downloads and uploads faster
for those with slower connection speeds. It's not just people
deciding, "I'm going to be rude today and post some JPGs using yEnc."

You'd think someone keen to show off they're tech savvy enough to play with
yEnc would be tech savvy enough to have progressed on from dial up!

Sorry to be snippety, my apologies. Most people I know post yEnc
deliberately because it's "better".

My newsreader (PAN) decoded this just fine. Worked straight out of the
box. No fiddling with plugins etc. It was a free download. Works great on
ubuntu linux.
