For me, pictures are displayed inline and those larger than the body
frame are shrunk to fit. Clicking on it will enlarge it like Firefox
does. Multi-part images are easy to view as Pan will show two green
interlocked puzzle pieces to indicate all articles are present. A
single red puzzle piece means one or more articles are missing. To
save a picture, clicking the disk icon pops up the dialog for saving
it.
Other binaries are handled similarly with the save dialog brought up
immediately upon selecting a posting header. This is with Pan 0.113
which is almost feature complete compared to the older versions.
Still, with Pan under heavy development right now, it might be a good
time to suggest certain features.
As for filtering, I don't bother with it. But then I don't read more
than a handful of news groups and it's rather easy to skip the
off-topic stuff.
