First of all, please don't simply reply to a post and change the subject when you're talking about something entirely different and should be starting a new thread. As a reply, it still has the "references" header, and pan (and many other news and mail clients) will respect that and place it as a subthread of the post you replied to, regardless of what you put in the subject line. Your reply here was to the Pan over SSH tunnel? thread... Instead, post a /new/ message, not a reply, and fill out the address, etc, as necessary. As to the question... "Download an attachment" can mean two different things. * If you mean where does pan download and cache the raw messages that (for attachments of any significant size) are combined and decoded to form the attachment, and assuming Linux/*ix (I've no idea what file paths the MS platform pan binary uses) try the ~/.pan2/article-cache/ directory. (~/.pan2 is the default if the $PAN_HOME var isn't set, if it is, pan interprets that as the dir it should use instead.) By default pan keeps that cache pretty small, 10 MiB, thus deleting most cached messages pretty quickly, however, so you might not find the raw message file you're looking for unless you've increased pan's cache size. There's a setting for that in preferences. * If you mean where does pan actually save the attachments if you tell it to "download" them, that's a group-specific setting. Open the group preferences for that group, and it should list the directory it's saving too as one of the settings. (I've long since customized my settings and have no memory of what the original default was, or I'd list it.) Note that for attachment saving, you can override the group default location using the save articles dialog, available in the toolbar as well as from the articles menu, and also on the context menu for an article or selected group of articles if you context-click (normally, right click) on it in the "headers" pane/tab. That dialog allows you to save the article, its attachments, or both, to whatever location you want, without changing the default location for that group. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
