        That's the reason exactly... PAN doesn't support bin-hex encoded
files. But as suggested, saving the raw article and decoding with a
different app should do the trick.

        I've always considered suggesting support for it, as it's a bit of
a drag to have to use a different newsreader if you want to have it
automated. However, since I'm not a coder, and appeal of this feature is
probably pretty limited, I've never felt comfortable doing so. The PAN
team works hard enough without us continuing to fill up the wishlist :)
