I'm certainly not the right person for this job, but I wonder how hard it would be to do one of the following: 1) Extend the draft-saving facility to have a saved-sent that operates on the same basis. 2) Have a "pseudo-newsgroup" of pan.internal.sent which any outgoing posts are automatically added into. 2a) And then remember that cache-clearing and expiry does not apply to that group :) Just throwing some ideas out there. I cannot remember how it was done in 0.14.x as I never used the facility (my posts always come back to me in the newsgroup I post it to :) ) Cheers, Steve _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
