Well, there's always the possibility of hacking pan. =8^) Even if you can't do C++ coding (as I can't), if it's as simple as commenting out the lines that add the content type and encoding headers, adding a simple // a couple times isn't terribly hard. Or you might be able to change the string-literal pan uses. Of course, do that and you'd best compile a pan-text and pan-bin version, the one for posting text, the other for posting binaries. I hadn't realized that UUE is being deprecated out entirely, as seems to be the case with knode and Thunderbird, but it's not surprising really, given that MIME is the only full standard, but neither of those clients are very good at binary groups anyway. I'm not sure about Thunderbird, but knode doesn't do yEnc at all, AFAIK (or I may well have gone with it rather than pan since the rest of my desktop is KDE), so it's already doomed for modern binaries. I had been keeping knode installed for the occasional binary post, but haven't used it at all for ages, and keeping something installed when it means every update is a full compile as it does on Gentoo is good motivation to reduce your installed package count to what is actually used. Since that's good security practice anyway, less stuff sitting around with potential vulns, I consider encouraging the removal of unused packages a /good/ thing. In any event, I expect I'll not have knode installed much longer here. (In fact, I think I'll launch an unmerge as soon as I post this.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
