Well, I've been busy since I posted this, but I've now tried a few
things to see if there is a solution.  So far, no luck.

Pan is still the same version.  FreeBSD is still the same version.

I tried building against gmime24, 26 and 30 (default is 26) and
still no solution.  I can't see any other build or runtime
dependencies which may be relevant.

I can still download those binaries which include an NZB file as
per the original post above, but any attempt to simple "Save" a
binary article results in just the many, many .msg files being
dumped into the destination directory.

I'd very much appreciate some pointers as to what to look for or
guidance on what potential helpers might need to know from me to
lead to a resolution.

I generally use FreeBSD with binary package updates but have one
or two unrelated apps built from ports, Pan being one of them to
increase the maximum connections per server as per the servers
rules rather than the default 4 in the source file.  This does of
course mean that Pan dependencies may be updated/upgraded when Pan
isn't, ie Pan is "locked" in terms of "pkg upgrade".  To stay in
sync I also keep the ports system up to date and rebuild Pan as
required, ie if dependencies are upgraded.
