I'd have to say that for me, selection has taken a step backward. The only one above that I'm not sure about working in 0.14.x is keyboard-only selection -- all other methods work fine for me. Did keyboard-only selection not work before? I make use of all 3 methods that use a mouse (4 if you count double-clicking a single article), but never use just keyboard. I've lost a major selection method -- when trying to clean out some of the huge binary groups, I liked to just sit back, drag-select and let the headers scroll by. No movement required on my part until I saw a point where I wanted to stop selecting. At that point, a quick move up to Articles/Delete - or a quick jab at the Delete key. IMO, since Pan is a GUI app, having full mouse ability should be a top priority. I'm glad to see the GTK folks finally get this done :) >> - Something which is not really Pan's problem but of the posters: if >> there are multiple numbered posts with the numbers near the start of >> the Subject rather than near the end, all the [01/40] articles are >> grouped together even if they don't belong together. > > Old-pan ignored those for sorting order IIRC.

Makes me crazy when posters do this stuff as well, but I also wonder if Pan should work around bad posting habits. Depends on how hard it would be for the Pan crew to implement, I guess. Maybe a feature request if someone can work out a way to figure out what is legitimate vs what is not in those cases. jef _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
