Sounds like a probable duplicate of bug 120007.
Could you try pan-0.14.2-5 which should fix the above bug?
I have switched from Red Hat 9 to Fedora Core 1 where pan-0.14.2-2 was installed. The problem still exist with this version. The newest pan version I could find was pan-0.14.2-4 which also suffers from this problem. Where do I find pan-0.14.2-5?
Should be appearing in FC devel (rawhide) today or so. :)
Why isn't pan-0.14.2-5 signed? The pan-0.14.2-4 I downloaded from the same directory yesterday was signed: [kasperd@erwin:pts/5:~/pan] rpm -K pan-0.14.2-*.i386.rpm pan-0.14.2-4.i386.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK pan-0.14.2-5.i386.rpm: sha1 md5 OK [kasperd@erwin:pts/5:~/pan]
I think you were "lucky" with pan-0.14.2-4: I guess it got signed for test1 and test2 of FC2. pan-0.14.2-5 won't get signed until test3, and again for the final release of course. :)
In that case I won't test it. I don't install unsigned software unless every line have been reviewed by someone I trust. I tried pan-0.14.2-gmime-crash-120007.patch from pan-0.14.2-5.src.rpm, it seems to fix the problem.
Fwiw, the pan in Fedora devel for FC2 is now signed I believed.
