I take it you are still using pan 0.14?
Yes. I gave new Pan a go a while back and messed up the compile/install. To date "old" Pan does what I need anyway so I've not re-attempted installing new Pan. I Might have another go when it's "release" or maybe tajke the easy way out and wait for the FreeBSD port ;-) > > Is there a way to insert the encoded file before the sig?

If don't add text in the message body I get: ERROR: Message is empty WARNING: Signature is more than four lines long ERROR: Message appears to have no new content. Not your fault or Charles' fault.

I have a script to do that but it's one of those that needs editing for each use. Maybe if I get time I can do something with it but since I don't often post large binaries there's been little incentive for me to improve it much. -- Dave _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
