Re: Xnews stopped showing images in split

Bada bing EeeTee <confused@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> bada bang:
I jsut started using Vista on a new PC. Loaded XNews and it worked like
usual as I did for years in Win 98SE.

For the past two days, when I try to view a yenc encoded posting in the
split/preview pane, the header text shows, but not the decoded image.

The file is saved in the expected location, but I'd like to see the yenc
image in XNews without opening a separate viewer.

Anyone with an idea on what's up?


You are using a very old version of Xnews. You might want to try
the most recent TEST version. In this case TEST does not mean
beta or unstable. It means "not packed with any other files" and
the zip contains just the executable.
