Adding that function to pan at this point would be a lot of code for minimal gain. Pan should be a "pimp-ass newsclient"; it's not "papa", so need not be a pimp-ass printing-app. <g> That isn't to say the functionality can't eventually be added, but there's a lot of news functionality (scoring on non-overview headers and body content comes to mind, as does attachment posting) not yet there yet. OTOH, if you have the skills and it's either compile-time optional or doesn't require all sorts of GNOME libraries as dependencies (unlikely, at least at a sane code size, thus optional is the better bet), Charles has always said wishes with patches tend to get integrated faster. =8^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
