Im wondering why Seamonky has never had a yEnc decoder built into the
program? Also why people post yEnc pictures? Does yEnc encoded pictures
save that much space or bandwidth?
Well, the Mozilla project is all for following (and fostering)
standards. The problem is that yEnc is not a recognized standard -- and
besides, it has serious design flaws. And you should think twice about
implementing/endorsing a spec that *its own author* criticizes...

Only advantage of yenc is that it can break up a posting into several
parts and the user can put them together again.
