Re: [Pan-users] Have you ever used pan to download and display yEnc encoded messages?

Very interesting - when I try alt.binaries.pictures.britishrailways PAN 
crashes.

However

alt.binaries.picture.britishrailways

contains 2 headers which, when downloaded give me these files

Running "file" on the "msg" files shows that they are a multipart
PAR archive, missing some parts.

Running uudeview on one of the 'msg' files shows this

uudeview '1581077917.84272.1@PRiVATE.msg'

Loaded from 1581077917.84272.1@PRiVATE.msg: '[yHbQj]

The files are "corrupt" so they won't be decoded correctly.

Try running uudeview on your file set.
