I use 0.11.4 here myself, since I haven't gone through the process of 
upgrading the necessary packages for more recent releases, either.  yenc 
decoding works fine here.  I did build my installation from source from 
CVS, but IIRC it's the same as the tarball for 0.11.4 these days.

What I do with binary messages is select the message and press shift+s, 
that's worked for me as long as I can remember using pan for downloading 
binary attachments.  Look for the green puzzle piece for what you want 
to download - red puzzle pieces are bad, means binary is incomplete 
(usually missing parts).  Blue triangle means it's queued, disk platter 
thing means it's in cache, a little diskette means it's been saved.  Red 
crosses mean there was an error of some sort (article didn't exist or 
some other NNTP error).
