I have seen this happen from time to time, but never really
investigated it. I'd suggest doing some things to narrow it down:
Restart Pan and try again; see if it still happens.
Check the raw article with another newsreader and see how it's
formatted. Since Pan does not download complete articles when
displaying headers, I assume it has to guess at whether the article has
attachments, *UNLESS* there's a header that tells whether attachments
are present, that is sent standard (not using XOVER or whatever we must
use for getting extended headers; I really don't know much about NNTP
protocols). Therefore, "Re: blah blah (01/56) file.avi" might seem
like a binary posting even if it's not, thus prompting the "Save As"
dialog, as I've seen happen.
If you can find a consistent way to force this to happen, report it as
a bug and it will soon be fixed. :) The Pan team fixes everything
from confusing or overly large dialogs to unreadable message headers,
eventually!
The next time this bothers me sufficiently, I will try to gather
enough information to report it, as well, but so far it has not
happened enough for me to figure out exactly when it happens so that I
can submit a useful report. :/
Good luck,
