Charles... I'm seeing the same behavior with non-binary groups. i.e. text-only 
documents published in multiple posts and labeled as such. For example, "some 
subject here 1/5" and "some subject here 2/5" and "some subject here 3/5" 
etc. will show up as "broken parts" because Pan is trying to "decode" 
non-binary multipart posts and is freaking out because there is no way to 
decode these.... 
Dunno if it'd be a simple fix to tell PAN that if it doesn't find a header 
indicating that it's a multipart binary post to ignore the "part x/y" in the 
subject and just display 'em.
If you need more specifics, please contact me off-list direct. :-)
