My guess is that they're yenc-encoded files in a binary newsgroup, which gnus-uu doesn't support (at least in my version of emacs). If so, search gnu.emacs.sources for some stuff I posted a couple of years ago to decode usenet yenc messages. The version I posted is synchronous and decodes in elisp, so it's slow, but adequate for the occasional binary. (I also have a faster asynchronous version that uses an external Java program to decode, but it's ugly and not suitable for posting). -- Mark ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Anyone can have a test on this server, you can post/see the >articles with anonymous account. Here is another example, which I'd like to know how to decode and view. In newsgroup alt.binaries.photo.original people sometimes slit a large jpeg image into multiple parts, which show up like this in the summary buffer (edited to shorten the line length) [3050: Pete... ] ... "Waterfall, Ochil hills, Scotland 12.jpg" yEnc (2/3) [1083: Pete... ] ... "Waterfall, Ochil hills, Scotland 12.jpg" yEnc (3/3) [3052: Pete... ] ... "Waterfall, Ochil hills, Scotland 12.jpg" yEnc (1/3) Note that the articles are not necessarily in order, and are not necessarily consecutive either. How does one mark the three articles, and get gnus to display the resulting image? -- Floyd L.
