Infact, I think there was a suggestion many moons ago to parse par2
files and use them to download the correct combination of binaries
and restore blocks to re-assemble the file.
Yea, But...
My news service often lists a header for which it lacks a body. This
caused pan 0.14.x to come to a screeching halt on that particular
multipart file. Par2 never got a chance because pan wouldn't attempt
to reassemble the parts.
Now if only a header was missing, pan would make a best-effort
attempt without that part. And then par2 could have a chance at repair.
What I was asking for was the ability to open the multi-part in order
to delete the header causing pan problems so that it could continue
thru to the rest of the multi-part. Could not do this on postings
which pan found all headers. When the headers were incomplete and pan
stopped on an existing header which lacked a body I could click the +
sign to open it up, delete the red-x'ed header, and continue.
