> The latest PAN on my FC6 system is 2.3.1 [...] I haven't the foggiest where that version number came from, but it's not pan's. If it's correct, it's entirely Fedora's version numbering, and I haven't the foggiest what it corresponds to in "upstream" pan versioning. I expect, however, that you mistakenly reported some other app's version number. FWIW, pan has never passed the 1.0 milestone so all versions are 0. something or other. Old pre-rewrite (C source) pan will be versions up to 0.14.x. New C++ rewrite pan started at version 0.90, with anything post 0.120 being what I'd call relatively recent, and 0.132 being the latest. So look for a version number 0.13x or possibly 0.12x. That's much more likely. > [...] and I don't see any "mail" > option other that "reply to author".

Putting pretty much anything of the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the email address box should pull up your mailer, provided either the package or you configured an appropriate one. In fact, I never use the menu option for mail at all. I just use the "f" keyboard shortcut for (newsgroup) followup as I normally would, then simply delete the newsgroup entry and add something ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever) to the Mail To line. Hitting send then brings up my mail client (kmail) with the message opened in its message editor. I could then mail it wherever, but since we're just talking about saving it to mail, that's what I do, save it without ever sending. (FWIW, kmail only lets me save it in draft, but I can and do move it from there to the folder I wanted to save it to. However, that's a kmail implementation quirk. Others may let you save it anywhere, directly, while others might actually force you to mail it to yourself.) > Leaving the post in the original newsgroup isn't much of an option for > me. True, it won't be an option for everyone. I'd not be able to use it in my binary groups, for instance, due to the way I handle them. I'd use the mail thing for them, which I do anyway if I want to save a particular message. I know people who brag about having a multi-year archive of the various text groups they follow in Forte Agent, tho, and find it very cool that I can now do the same thing in pan. =8^) It can be useful to have whole threads archived from a year or more ago, and it's interesting just to go back and look at it once in awhile too, remembering what events were current and being argued at the time... -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
