Does anyone know the answer????????????

I don't use this new Windows Mail much, however it's the only program I have
with my new Vista computer that will
download messages in newsgroups.

I went to a newsgroup that has mp3s posted in multiple files. I selected all
the files, joined them but then nothing happens. It looks like it's joining
then when it's done, I still see all 10 messages there. In my old newsgroup
program (Forte Agent), you would automatically see the ONE joined file that
could be downloaded. When the messages get downloaded all I see is the
coding in the message. How the heck do I successfully join these files and
get the music file?

In Agent I also had to get a UUENCODE program that would change the coded
message into an MP3. Sorry I can't explain it better than that. Do I need to
get something like this for Windows Mail too? If so what do I do?

Please be simple, I'm not that much of a techy gal.
Thanks

Did you join them in the correct order within Windows Mail? Did you
then right click on one of these messages, then click on Combine and Decode?

Windows Mail already includes UUENCODE and UUDECODE functions,
so you shouldn't need a separate program to do this. Also, it knows if
incoming
messages need a MIME decoder instead, and contains one of those also.

Windows Mail doesn't include a yEnc decoder, so let us know if the messages
with the problems use this code.

Stop stealing music. Download and use iTunes and your problems will go
away.

Who are you talking to and about what?
