I forgot to mention that I _did_ try uudeview first. Running with the same two messages: $ uudeview -i *msg Note: No encoded data found in pan$b6a6c$56fdd301$760b57bc$2d431223$1...@scifi.homeip.net.msg Note: No encoded data found in pan$b86ee$2a1d3c06$24b39e70$158bb923$1...@scifi.homeip.net.msg Even with -d and/or -z or -z2, same result: no encoded data found. Its usage text says in part: UUDEVIEW 0.5pl20 - the nice and friendly decoder - (w) 1994 Frank Pilhofer I believe that's still current after all these years. ;) Anyway, It seems yydecode can give us better indications of what's wrong with those posts (already shown earlier in this thread). What I might not trust, is the _encoder_ used by uuEnview for the yEnc method. I'm afraid there's been some adjustments made to the way encoding should be done, since 1994, as I distinctly remember there were problems in the early days of yEnc. That's why I keep insisting to ask you to study other projects such as yencee-at-Sourceforge, where we've already put those adjustments into the encoding side of things. (I'm one who wants to be sure that we encode the dot '.' if it is found in the 1st column, because we have known certain buggy servers still misflag that as an EOM indicator even with more text on that same line.) BTW thanks for the nzb, but I also would want to download any test postings as text-messages, then study how they are being created on the server itself. I don't know how to do this with an nzb (save as original text), so I would need to fetch recent headers for that group and play around with the downloads in various fashions. ;) It would help immensely if Pan would accept a simple Message-ID string, and/or as part of a <news:messageid> URI thing, no matter what group it's in, and try to fetch it directly. (We have this mechanism in OSX, but I don't know how to use the mechanism to invoke a non-native X11 app, which would be the reverse of the Pan-to-webbrowserURL logic that already exists in Pan for OSX browsers, I wonder if I ought to try working on it sometime somehow.) Another BTW, I have started a discussion on the Xquartz-devel list/group (it's available on Gmane), as we're trying to find out how to debug other aspects of this version of X11 etc. Either I try fixing things with Apple's problems, as well, or I very definitely am going to jump-ship sooner than later. ;) Thanks for putting up with me. I hope we can make Pan the best open free newsreader ever. :) _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
