As you probably know, Usenet is a text-based service. This means that
everything sent to Usenet, whether it be a text message or binaries (pics,
movies, software, music, etc) has to be "encoded" into text. There are 2
main ways of doing this: Uencode, the older, less efficient way, or yEnc.
The encoding and decoding is done by your newsreader but I don't think that
your newsreader will automatically decode yEnc posts. For that you need
Super Gravity:

If you google for microplanet gravity you should be able to learn more and
download a free version.
