Neither Outlook Express nor Windows Mail are designed for heavy-duty
downloading of multipart binaries from Usenet. Are the mpegs you refer to
yEnc-encoded? If so, neither Outlook Express nor Windows Mail can decode
them. If you were decoding them with Outlook Express you must have been
using a third-party add-on that allowed you to do so. It may be that that
add-on doesn't work with Windows Mail.
The solution is to use yEnc-savvy software. I use Forte Agent. There are
other options.
