yEnc advantages are it takes somewhat less
disk space to store files encoded in yEnc [and
consequently less time to upload/download,
BUT if your goal is to share with AOL-ers, there
are far too many sections for them to hope to
download each, naming them all correctly and
manually re-assembling them using a yDecoder
[will take them longer than downloading standard
UUE encoding which decodes automatically].
the time savings are negligible for broadband
users as they already get everything so fast.
I see you are trying to be helpful by trying it, but
yEnc is far too difficult + cumbersome for AOL
members just yet. I'd suggest using regular
coding scheme until AOL incorporates it into
their news reader interface [if ever].
