Hi,
Yes you described my problem very closely (I suppose you can blame me for instigating this ;) ). We have applied that simple one-line patch here, (others are listed as bug-report numbers in my User-Agent header line), compiled & installed it, and tried fetching one of those posts again. This time the poster made sure 'yenc' is mentioned on his Subject lines, too. Nothing changed for me. On pan's stdout|stderr path, we see numerous lines like this: >>>> (pan:80747): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()" <<<< The pan gui event log shows many lines with junk like this: >>>> Thu Jan 14 23:20:52 2010 - Article "BrainSurge-2010-01-04-0.tp Yenc (/3213)" is incomplete -- the news server(s) don't have part <vft2n.137596$lb1.124...@news.usenetserver.com4773> <<<< This time our article-cache subdir here does _not_ have any junk filenames, tho, AFAWCT. Most 'normal-sized' binary postings do not show problems like this, even without your one-line patch. FWIW Our pango & cairo etc came from the Xquartz-2.4.0 project, built just a few months ago (i.e. recent versions) for the multi-arch (4 types of) CPUs being supported by Apple itself (ppc, ppc64, i386, x86_64). We are likely using the i386 flavour. Much more detailed info here (lists libs & versions included): <http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki/X112.4.0> It'll put me into a bind if we need to upgrade any X11 pieces (for ex I believe we are still at gmime-2.2.23). If you have time, what else might we try? Thank you for helping. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
