Is it possible to make Pan upload attachments? I don't see any way to do
that, in both the latest stable version and in the CVS version (as of last
week).

Hmm, interesting idea. I might have to try to figure that out.
The problem seems to be that the perfect has been the enemy of the good.
PAN stands for Pimp-ass Newsreader, and that's the goal.

Thanks for the explanation. It was longer than I expected, but quite
appreciated nevertheless. It almost makes me want to code it just to
get it in. :-) Like everyone else, time is the difficulty. :-(
Still, maybe I'll look to see what it would take to do just the single
upload, no splits. I'm curious... :-)
IMHO that would be a step backwards.
If posting of binary attachments is enabled, it would be best to enable
the multipart posting as well so we are not teased with the "almost
works" part.
I understand the teasing part, but I disagree about the step backwards
part. Since we have nothing at all (well if you don't count the script
Duncan just sent out), then from my POV, anything is a step forward.
Believe me, I'd love to have the full thing too; but at this time, I'd
take anything that gets us closer. As I tend to want to upload small
zip files, even this small step would be useful (this is the itch I want
to scratch).
I've never done GTK work, but I'm willing to try (at least once, :-) I
used to do Motif and X so GUI programming is not [conceptually] new to
me. I don't know what RFCs (if any) apply to making attachments, but if
someone can enlighten me, I'll poke around and see if something happens.
If we all get lucky, I'll produce a patch (OSS philosophy working for us
all. :-) More probable is that I'll get lost in Pan & GTK and will give
up, so you'll be safe. :-)
