Now /that/ would be useful. =:^) Meanwhile, FWIW, the whole general lack of control when doing mass downloads, all to the same location, is one reason I tend to configure pan with a much larger cache (the default is only 10 MB, not enough for this usage style, I use a cache of multiple GB), download all messages to cache, and then go thru after everything's cached and sort and save off attachments to subdirs named by post series, etc. Then I clear the cache and start again by downloading to cache. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
