I went there and looked for the first complete (little green puzzle piece icon)
multipart zip file that wasn't yEnc encoded.  The one I came on first was

   SIDE.FX.HOUDINI.V5.0.LINUX-PIXEL - File 9 of 9 - p-sfhl09.zip (01/15)
   Message-ID: <address@hidden>

I hit Save Attachments, and a few minutes later the zip file showed up
in my ~/News/Pan/ directory.  It unzipped fine.

It was posted today, so it should still be fresh on your server.  If you
can't decode it, please let me know.  Otherwise if you want me to follow
up on this you're really going to have to provide a group + subject
that has failed on your end!
