I haven't updated yet, so don't know if you've got this yet or not, but while we're on the topic of special-casing... What about special-casing sent-messages so it doesn't think all messages are unread? (There's already something strange going on with sent. If I enter the group and read only ONE message, then click out to a different group and back in or restart pan, ALL messages are read. But I have to read one message. Simply entering the group doesn't do it, and all new sent messages are unread until I read ONE.) And drafts should IMO be the reverse of that, always unread. Messages in sent should always appear read, since they'll primarily be read in the groups as they aleays have been, and messages in drafts should always appear unread, as a reminder that there are still messages in drafts. Also: Expiry for sent? Does it expire using the policy of the server the message was sent to, or ???. And cache. Is sent subject to cache management (I'd guess/hope it is)? If so, with binary posting, it may be time to re-think the default 10 MB cache size. I'll throw out this idea for discussion but I'm not sure it's ideal: Maybe, when there's no preferences.xml and/or no cache size entry in it, either when pan is first opened, along with popping up a dialog offering to set up a first server (does pan do that, I've obviously had a config for so long I don't actually know?), it has a cache-size dialog something like this: Cache size: The largest messages I'll regularly download/post and wish pan to cache for me are: (Radiobuttons) 0 Text: 10 MB O Still images, MP3s: 100 MB O CD ISOs: 1 GB O DVD ISOs: 10 GB O BluRay ISOs: 50 GB O I'll set my own cache size: [text-box/spinner] That layout would make a nice tab or tab-section in prefs, too. Once the GUI is coded up for it, it could be used for both. Or maybe just put it in prefs, but with the expanded layout so as to bring more focus to it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
