(IDR the specifics.) However, it just occurred to me as I write this... there's a workaround. Regulars will know I make use of the ability of pan to use the PAN_HOME environmental variable to tell it where to look for its settings, and that I use that to set up multiple pan instances with each pointed at a different config dir (with symlinks used where a settings file is identical across multiple instances). Here, I simply run separate pan instances for text, binaries, and tests (since pan creates tracker files when one first enters a group, and doesn't wipe them out, you must do that manually... so I don't "visit" groups in my regular instances, only in my test instance, and thus only have to manually delete stuff at the filesystem level on it), but there's no reason it has to be that way. People could have separate instances for music and TV shows and adult groups, if they wished, or whatever. So... the workaround to the delay-body issue is simple. Setup two pan instances, both pointed at the local leafnode, but using one for browsing and setting up bodies to download, then the other for actually grabbing the bodies once leafnode has fetched them. Not that this is likely to be of much help for the OP, since the whole idea would be to /avoid/ having to manually tell pan (or leafnode) to fetch articles, but for anyone else who happens to want to try leafnode in delay-body mode. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
