Hi again,
Thanks for the discussion on these items I've raised.
I feel I need to clarify some things, if I may.
On the word-wrap:
We need Pan to stop mucking with the way the original
texts were posted, when quoting those texts.
Unless "someone" actively decides to muck with it.
Period. ;)
The
Steven,
Our postings have crossed in the ether. I didn't see this before
posting a reply to your last one, and of course you hadn't seen
my reply.

And then again...
As I started to read each group, Pan marked all of the old posts read,
leaving me with nothing but the newest ones. Interesting. Last time,
when I didn't check the newsrc file, it didn't do that, just expected me

Either I didn't copy the right file, or something, because it didn't
work. Pan just downloaded every header in every group I'm subscribed to
that's been posted since I last used this machine. Weird! With one
server, all I have is ~/.

Right now, I'm at NASFIC, in Raleigh, NC. Last night, I used rsync to
update the copy of Pan on my laptop. I used rsync -av, but didn't see

match, so I corrected it by ftp. Maybe this is the reason it didn't
work right bef
