Thanks very much Jack. Do you think though servers
will be given user-defined labels again in a (near)
future Pan release? Surely makes sense?
Meanwhile I will give the workaround a try, thanks.
Also: I guess I'm not the only one to say it, but
expanding Pan to post binary attachments might be nice
too. Seems to be a big disadvantage vis a vis XNews
etc etc. Other than these things, I like Pan very much.
