Have you tried context/right clicking and selecting "read article" from 
the resulting popup?  (The same action is available on the articles menu, 
if you prefer activating that to the popup menu.)

That usually works here, when a message doesn't download just by 
clicking, tho I've not seen the problem recently, certainly not as 
recently as this ssl code, and when I do/did see it, it's usually related 
to pan believing the article is an incomplete multipart for whatever 
reason, in which case the don't-download-unless-the-user-specifically-
requests policy makes some sense.  But it's still a bit confusing to 
newbies and others that haven't discovered or who have forgotten about 
the manual "read article" method.

If manual "read article" doesn't work, it likely is an ssl related bug, 
but I thought it might be worth confirming whether you'd tried it or not, 
just to be sure.
