I know almost nothing about i19n, so let me be the first to offer an opinion! ;o) Your headers hint that you may be from Rumania, and my pan renders the username Àäìèíèñòðàòîð as glyphs that I think of as mostly European. I have no idea if that username looks the same to you as it looks to me, and that's one of the problems with i19n :o( Anyway, on to a more practical question: do you know of any news server that *will* accept that username? If yes, do you know of a news client that will authenticate properly with that server? Any education you can give us may improve pan in the long run, but probably not tomorrow ;o) _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
