Pan 0.131 on FreeBSD 6.2 with the > yencode package from http://www.yencode.org/ I've done it (but not for awhile, as I've not done binaries in awhile), but using uudeview, from here: http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/UUDeview/ . No problems that couldn't be blamed on bad propagation. (FWIW, I use uudeview with a script I created, called pan-attach-kd, that hooks into pan's external editor functionality to allow attaching binaries. IIRC someone said they could use it with yencode as well, but I've not tried it. You can get pan-attach-kd, or the older pan-attach, more difficult to use but doesn't require kdialog as the -kd version does, from my website at http://members.cox.net/pu61ic.1inux.dunc4n/ . Download the script, look at it to see what it does if you wish, set it executable, and run it from a terminal window with no parameters, for further instructions.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
