Actually being a usenet user myself, i was under the impression it was more like a compression than an actual encryption process. uuencode posts files at X size per part, while a Yenc file seems to compress it moe for the same size file, I could be wrong, but as I said this is the impression I got about it from a few posts I seen when it started becoming more mainstream.
