Thanks Duncan got it to work after I figured there must be some file size limit - I posted in alt.binaries.test a post titled "pic test 7" ;) with a pic scaled down by 1/2 to 400x320. The full size, 800x640 would hang at the end of the sending window. but at last, we can post with Pan! tks again Steve _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
