File Menu "Decode - Super Smart..." Occasionally, you may encounter an encoded file that fails to decode properly using the "Decode - Smart" menu item. Assuming the file is not corrupt and has its article parts in the correct order, it's still possible that "Decode - Smart" will fail to decode it. This can happen because the file may have been encoded in some non-standard manner or parts of its headers or footers may appear to be valid encoded text. "Decode - Super Smart" will apply additional text processing to detect this and properly decode the file. "Decode - Super Smart", because of the extra work it does, takes longer to decode a file and should therefore be used only if "Decode - Smart" fails.
