Encoding a File

When encoding a file, WinVN will send the raw encoded data to a file. WinVN will not generate any MIME headers, or any news/mail headers. If you intend to send this encoded data over the network, select Attach from the composition menu of a composition window.

Name of file to be encoded

Enter the file name of a file to encode. Select Browse to open the Windows file browser.

Encoding Type

Choose the type of encoding for the file. If you click on Make Default, this will become the default encoding type for all attachments.

Custom Encoding Table

If you selected Custom for the Encoding Type, this must be a valid Custom Encoding Table. See

Custom Encoding Tables.

Ok...

When you click on Ok, WinVN will prompt you for a name for the file which will contain the encoded data.
