Download the script, check it if you don't trust me, put it in your path somewhere (I have mine in ~/bin, my regular user's bin dir, which is my path), and set it executable. (I deliberately turned OFF the executable bit for posting, so folks wouldn't run it accidentally before they'd checked it if they wanted to.) >From there, run it, and it should spit out a help screen telling you what else you need to do... Among other things, you'll need kdialog (part of kdebase as I said so you'll have it if you have KDE installed) and uudeview. If your distribution doesn't have uudeview available, there's a link to its home page in the help text. Once those are installed, you have to tell pan to use pan-attach-kd as its external editor. That's pretty simple. On new-pan, open the post article window, and from the edit menu, first choose manage editor list and add it there, then choose set editor and select it from the choices you just added it to. You should now be setup. Run it from pan by using the run editor button in the post article window. If everything has been setup correctly, hitting the run editor button will popup the first dialog of pan-attach-kd, the encoding selection dialog. Here, you have three encoding choices, plus pass-thru and help. (Read help for the pass-thru info, it allows you to setup a real external editor to pass the post to if you want to do that rather than attaching a file.) Yenc doesn't work on new-pan at this point, and text/identity encoding is for copying in a text file as-is, no encoding at all, so really the only true encoding choice ATM is uuencode. After selecting the encoding type and hitting OK, up pops the file selection dialog. Select a file, and provided your user can read it, pan-attach-kd should attach it to the post and return you to the pan post article window, ready to hit the send-article button or continue with further attachments or edits as necessary. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
