I assume this shouldnt happen. I think Beso missed the significance of what you said... No, if you've exported PAN_HOME pointing at other than the default ~/.pan2, and where you pointed it is empty, pan should NOT know anything about your old subscriptions, including NOT being able to BOLD them because it shouldn't know anything about the other location at all -- it's being pointed at a new one. However, someone earlier posted a comment to the effect that a few of the paths in pan are still hard-coded -- they don't obey PAN_HOME. Apparently, the subscribed groups list does obey PAN_HOME, thus, no subscribed groups when you're pointing PAN_HOME at an empty location, but the generic all-group list remains hard-coded and looks at the old location, regardless, and BOLDs those groups that have xref message sequence numbers attached (these are in the group list, IIRC). If that's correct (and I've not tested it myself to be sure yet), that's a bug, and if there's not yet one filed on it, there should be. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
