I've found that OeyEnc works under Vista and Vista SP1.

http://www.mutexed.com/code/OeyEnc/

It does have a minor problem though; if you start Windows Mail the
regular way, it can't decode yEnc. However, if you start it through
the OeyEnc loader, it will decode yEnc but is unable to open .eml
attachments. Therefore, you may need to switch between these
methods occasionally by marking a post unread, then shutting down
Windows Mail and restarting it with the other method.

Thanks, Robert, I'll give that a try.
