Very interesting - when I try alt.binaries.pictures.britishrailways PAN 
crashes.

However

alt.binaries.picture.britishrailways

contains 2 headers which, when downloaded give me these files

Running "file" on the "msg" files shows that they are a multipart
PAR archive, missing some parts.

Running uudeview on one of the 'msg' files shows this

uudeview '[email protected]'

ERROR: File dCQi4Lpzb0XbqNql (yHbQj): No End found (4)

The files are "corrupt" so they won't be decoded correctly.

Try running uudeview on your file set.
