Phil,
In my experience with binaries newsgroups, I have found that postings are usually multipart and you need to the use the Combine and Decode Function in Outlook Express.
You need to select ALL of the messages that are part of the original message (each part will usually have a number). Use the “Control Key” (Ctrl) and mark/highlight all the parts of the message and then right click the marked/highlighted messages and then in the pop-up menu select “Combine and Decode.”
If you need additional information, I suggest in Outlook Express select “Help,” then “Contents and Index” (F1) and look under the topic “Combining Multipart NewsGroup Messages.”
Hope This Helps,
Coaster
