It seems a new encoding is on the 'net (new to me at least). It is yEnc, and is a message encoder that encodes in all the characters allowed in e-mail messages. Smaller attachments and all that.

The encoding starts like:

=ybegin part=1 line=128 size=304418 name=glop.mp3
=ypart begin=1 end=304418

My question is, how would one get Mozilla to decode with this? As I can see it, it would need to look for the text '=ybegin' in the message. Would I need to save it to a file and 'ydecode' it? I used to use elm for this, as it yould send a message to a program. I guess I am hoping that someone will know a trick I don't here with Mozilla. There is scant support for it in news readers, so I am suprised that it is popping up. No hits on Mozilla.org. Not for Opera either.
