My question: yEnc is REALLY an accepted compression technique. Why are
you not with it?

yEnc is a great technology but is of most value where you have really
large volumes of images. We're lucky to see a dozen posts a day here
and 75% of those are replies. Usually it's less. Many here read the
posts in their mail client such as outlook express which doesn't come
with yEnc. For them, they would have to pay for and install a yEnc
add-on.

On the other hand, anybody can post a non-yEnc jpg here, which everyone
can see. It's a bit of "When in Rome...". In this neighborhood we
don't use it. I use Thunderbird, which can deal wiht them, but I fully
understand that it's not realistic of me to expect others to change
their reader to see my stuff.

If we were seeing hundreds of megs a day (or maybe even dozens) it would
be another story...
