Sorry about that. > I'm not sure how BNR2 works, but does it possibly automatically integrate > the PAR files when needed to rebuild the post?

The directory where i decode it to stays completely empty, not even the PAR files get through. The problem, as i see it, lies in the decoding of the message. For some reason, BNR2 is able to decode it, where PAN is not. > Unfortunately, the named posts have scrolled off the server, here (or got > caught in my filters), so can't check them.
