can't view images in newsgroups

[mike mullins]

i have outlook express set up to view comcast's giganews.
i can view about 30% of posts with images. the rest just
open with a lot of gobbledy gook like this;

=@
 =M !"#$+*-+++++++++******+,-
./012345;*,+,..-.1/..*+,¡*+,-;./K[0<k{1<>=}L\«2>l»ËÛë3M]|?

=M !"#$)ê*;2
-&,Ç-+L*,;+-;+)*6-+*,;-;*i*$ïèVÿz-{O3N,¤?I&

can i do anything about this?

If the posts are splitted in several posts (to workaround the posting size
limit) you should select all the messages that should make up one post,
right click them and choose Combine and Decode.

Note that this is an Microsoft Office Outlook forum and although Outlook
links to a newsreader it's actually using Outlook Express.

Outlook Express is family of Internet Explorer and Outlook of the Office
family.

Here is the link for the right forum
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer

Good Luck!

Some newsgroups allow yEnc postings. If you did a cut-and-paste for the
above, that's what it looks like to me. You'll need a yEnc decoder to read
them. Google is your friend.
