I've found an example of this problem. There's no way to get pan to
show the article.  Rightclicking the article and choosing "read
article" results in Pan displaying the next article in the thread and
not the one chosen.  The same happens using 'enter', 'space', or
leftclicking.  Displaying a previous article and then choosing 'next
article' or 'next unread' does not work either.  Rclick - 'save as'
results in Pan saving the next article and not the one chosen.

The two article thread is in alt.binaries.monter-movies with subject:

Re: Freddy Got Fingered - Sample [1/1] - yEnc "A_N_R_sample.ogm" (01/32)

The authors are "Jay163" and "Caesium" and the posts are dated today
(Feb 26).  Pan shows these messages with the text icon and not as
binary posts.

Please let me know if you need more examples or if you need me to fill
out a bug report.

Thank you,
Michael
