[Pan-users] Problems downloading uuencoded binaries

[Miguel Rubio]

Some days ago, I had problems downloading certain binaries. I've been 
investigating and I think the problem is those binaries, which are 
uuencoded, are finished with "fin" instead of with "end".

Moreover, that binaries are posted with
NNTP POWER-POST 2000 (Build 25b; yEnc) - www.CosmicWolf.com

Xnews (http://xnews.newsguy.com) has no problems downloading those binaries.

I've tried to modify pan to fix this but I haven't succeed.

I made this change in util-mime.c :

*new util-mime.c*:
static gboolean
uu_is_ending_line (const char * line)
{
return line!=NULL && !g_strncasecmp(line,"end",3) && !strstr(line,"cut") 
&& !strstr(line,"CUT") && !g_strncasecmp(line,"fin",3);
}

*original util-mime.c*:
static gboolean
uu_is_ending_line (const char * line)
{
return line!=NULL && !g_strncasecmp(line,"end",3) && !strstr(line,"cut") 
&& !strstr(line,"CUT");
}

As I've already said it didn't work. I still have the same problems 
downloading that binaries.

I use pan-0.13.3 under Debian.
