So just go to the selected group. I sometimes subscribe to a group just to see what is there and if I'm not interested I just unsubscribe. So why not subscribe to all 4 and then unsubscribe the ones you don't want. I don't see a difference between 3 and 4. If implementing this function would cause Charles tons of grief I see no need for it. -- Travis in Shoreline Washington _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
