download files

[Guest]

I used the newreader to download alt.binaries files it use working just fine,
then it started not to save them as attachment so I could save them. I
combine and decode them and everything seem ok then the window pop up and I
get text in the lower window, didn't change any setting and it happen on both
computers (98se/xp)and the xp one did it the first time I used it.

So one please help me b4 I shoot the dam thing

newreader=newsreader? newsreader=Outlook Express?
If OE, check under Tools> Options> Security and uncheck box next "Do not
allow attachments..."

yes to the newsreader in outlook express.
try that already. Could my ISP be blocking me from downloading binaries files?

Possibly. I know that some have a cap.
Also, you may want to ask this question in one of the Outlook Express
groups. The OE gurus hang out there. If this is a combine/decode problem
with OE, they will be able to give you the lowdown on it.
