And I've written a couple of them myself :o/ If you still have the old home directory maybe you could save the .pan2 directory somewhere safe, and then try using it again in a few months to see if future versions of pan still crash. That's the sort of trick that hackers use to find vulnerable machines, or so I've read. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
