However, it's possible to attach them manually if you have a UUEncoder (pan doesn't have the setup to properly do MIME/ Base64 as that requires specific headers, and yEnc attachments won't properly paste into the text-only editor). I've created a bash script called pan-attach to semi-automate the process, using pan's external editor feature. Actually, I've created two. Pan-attach itself, lacking its own UI, was an original proof of concept that I hoped someone with proper coding ability would run with, but no one did, so I eventually created pan-attach-kd, which makes use of the kdialog UI/dialog package to handle the GUI. pan-attach was evidently too rough and hard enough to use that nobody ever commented on using it, but I've had several say they use pan-attach-kd. To use pan-attach-kd, you'll need kdialog installed as I mentioned. It's part of the kdebase package on distributions that don't split it out into its own package. You'll also need uuenview from the uudeview package, to do the actual encoding. (I've had reports that standard uuencode works too.) Just run it from a terminal window to get further information. The script is available at my web page, here: http://members.cox.net/pu61ic.1inux.dunc4n/ I should do an update someday. I've got a couple patches folks have submitted, but it does work, as long as you have bash, kdialog and uuenview installed. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
