AAAGGGHHHHH! So I've lost all the postings that I selective;y kept for future reference. (But at least I've still got the postings that I made.) > You can try getting all headers (not just new headers) and see. I used a different server and d/l 'All Headers' (5810). They only go back as far as 2/08, so I guess you are right - old Pan has deleted all I had on my PC earlier than that date. (What on earth was the point of that (or, why could I not have specified that was not to be done?)?) Many thanks for diagnosing the cause, Duncan - much appreciated. I didn't look at new Pan when it first appeared because I was then on dial-up, which didn't seem to be what new Pan was designed for. Until now I simply liked the way old Pan worked, and saw no reason to change. Now I shall take more notice of how you guys are progressing with getting the new version up to scratch and will probably take the plunge one day soon. -- /\/\aurice _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
