Any suggestions on a Yenc decoder add on for IE-8, preferably a free one.
Good bad or ugly. I have resisted this protocol for years but now feel I
need it. I know there are a zillion posts through Google but I trust
opinions here.

"yEnc is a binary-to-text encoding scheme for transferring binary
files in messages on Usenet or via e-mail." What has that to do with
an internet browser like IE8?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that the OP uses IE to follow
along on his favorite news groups and collect his e-mail.

Since yenc messages are binary files that are converted to text when posted
and converted back to binary when read, he wants the converter because he
can't see the girls when they are displayed at text.

I would check here for some ideas: http://www.yenc.org/ I have used
their tools to decode yEnc binary files on usenet in the past.
