(I'm really posting this to test the new 'sent' and 'draft' folders, but 
I'm also serious about the stuff below :)

If you take a look at (just for example) alt.binaries.photos.original 
you'll see quite a few posted jpegs with more than 5000 lines.

If you click on any of those articles (expecting to view the jpeg) pan 
will offer to save the attachment instead of displaying it.

The reason for this behavior is a test for article size in header-pane.cc 
(line 1277) to decide whether the attachment should be displayed or 
saved.  These days 5000 lines is evidently not big enough for many posted 
picture files, so I cheat and edit the file to change the 5000 to 10000.

The real problem is that the number is completely arbitrary, of course,
and may increase in the future as digital cameras continue to improve.

I'm guessing that Charles found the problem annoying and settled for the 
existing code as 'good enough'.  Just a guess because I wasn't here back 
then.  But Duncan was :)  Any thoughts, Duncan?
