Selecting and then saying ":e" is so nice. Ew! If you for ex. select all parts of a multi-part binary and then use :e savedir|decoderprog trn seems to pass each article to a new instance of decoderprog instead of passing the whole of the selected articles to decoderprog. :( I'll stick with using :s to save whole picture floods or multiple multi-part binaries to one file and then later use uudeview to decode the whole bunch from the commandline... Looking at ydecode's man page, you'd probably use it like :e savedir|ydecode - in trn for single-part yEnc files... I think that for multi-part yEnc posts it will most likely run into the same problems as I described above, so for MP3s the best solution is probably save, decode later.
