I can share with you how I used it in earlier versions of Pan: sometimes when I copied text from the Web or other sources into a message, it would contain characters outside of the character set I used for posting to Usenet. Upon sending a message Pan would warn me that such an offending character is located in line X, column Y. Having column and line numbers at the bottom of the editor window greatly sped up finding those characters.
