Until very recently the limit was that pan (like most other news clients) used a 32-bit variable to store the article number. That limit was recently fixed by K. Haley (our volunteer c++/pan developer) but I can't recall if that fix has been applied to Charles' official pan repository. (And thus to all the operating system distributions out there.) I suspect not, so if you're using pan as it's distributed by third parties, you may not have the 64-bit fix I'm referring to. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
