No, not a newsgroup per se, but yes, this list is actually available as a newsgroup, thru gmane.org's list2news and back again gateway, which is actually how I participate on this list/group. Read all about it on http://gmane.org . It's a free service, but be aware that IP blocks are occasionally blocked for abuse. Unfortunately, there was apparently someone from my ISP and IP block abusing them at one point, and I got caught in the block. I was reading from the web interface for a few days, until things could be straightened out. > 2) How can I sort my headers by two criteria , first by watched > threads, then by date? That's not directly possible, but... I'm not sure if this works on PAN (haven't tested it here), but sometimes you can get that effect by sorting on the secondary item first (date in your case), then clicking on the primary one (score). Sometimes that causes a sorting by the primary, with anything set equal under that being sorted by the last-used criteria, thus giving you the desired effect. However, even if it does work with PAN, I'd expect PAN only remembers the primary sorting criteria and thus won't save that setting over multiple sessions. You'd have to reinvoke it each time you entered the group. FWIW, if it does work, it'd be due to functionality in the GTK widget used, not PAN itself. PAN should support it if the widget it uses does so. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
