Here's one that really shocked me: a while ago I posted that pan refused to display messages which were cross-posted to a non-existent newsgroup (e.g. gmane.test, which flags suspected spam by appending the bogus group 'gmane.spam.detected' onto the end of the 'Newsgroups' header. I used a packet sniffer to discover that pan would stop and ask the gmane server for 'GROUP gmane.spam.detected' and (of course) the server would answer that there is no such group -- and pan would just sit there forever and do nothing. The gentoo-unstable box, by contrast, was not at all bothered by the same situation. Pan did not stop to ask for the bogus group, it just displayed the message in the usual and proper way. So -- what accounts for this very important difference? Dunno! Maybe Charles can speculate why pan should pause in the middle of reading a cross-posted message to send a 'GROUP' request for another group. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
