OK, thanks for that. I was wondering if it was a feature I'd missed or whether it just wasn't there. <snip> > Of course I and others are hoping for the former and there's certainly > features that could be added that would further improve pan, but in the > FLOSS world it's the coders that decide where an app goes, and for those of > us that aren't coders... Ah, I see. Never mind, Pan is perfectly usable as it is. I'm just pining a bit for some of Turnpike's features :-) As you say, I think Usenet isn't as popular as it was. A shame really because it's a good way of handling vast numbers of simultaneous discussions. > As for caching, be aware that for binary use at least, if you're going to be > making much use of download to cache, you'll need to increase pan's default > 10 MB cache size.
