[Pan-users] yEnc.msg files and formats

[Rickbrown]

Greetings:

When I select a header file indicating yEnc encoding to download I get a larger "attachment" file and a collection of .msg files. What is in the attachment file is a mystery, but it is some sort of amalgamation of the information in the .msg files.

The .msg files contain a header section and a yEnc encoded binary data section. I assume this to be image data for a single image. I can run a rough decode over the data by subtracting out the 0x2a that was added to the data characters as part of yEnc process and ignoring escapes. Then scanning the decoded data I can find no indication of what the data is or what the format is.

Do you know? Do you know where documentation of this product exists? How to use these products? I live in the Linux world.
