[Pan-users] Ignoring specific threads

I was wondering if Pan can do the following: Let's assume take a user U in a given group G. U is a crank, a troll or something like that. I would like to tell Pan to ignore not only all posts from U but also all threads initiated by U. Is this possible with Pan?

[Pan-users] Filtering out responses to individuals already filtered out

I have my filters set up so that posts from a number of individuals are deleted automatically before I even get to see them.

I have my text group pan instance set to never expire as well. This may be a silly question but - how on earth do you do that? I have clicked on just about every single menu on Pan 0.131, and have so far been unable to find how to do that. ___ Pan

[Pan-users] Filtering on the basis of a missing header field

Is it possible to assign scores (and therefore, filtering) on the basis of missing header fields? I have noticed that some spammers omit some fields, like NNTP-Posting-Host; it would be nice to be able to plonk postings lacking such field. ___ Pan-

[Pan-users] Filtering out the flood at sci.crypt

For the last few weeks some idiot has taken to flooding sci.crypt (and possibly other groups) with junk. The postings are spoofed to appear as coming from regulars in the group, and the contents of the postings are just random drivel. Anybody know a rule, or set of rules, to filter them ou

[Pan-users] Re: Editing scoring rules

One thing that I would like to be able to do with Pan is to view the scoring rules I have defined, and edit/remove them, if I want to. I do not know how to do this in Pan 0.121. Is it possible at all? If it is, how? If it isn't, is this something in the works? I asked this question, and rece

When initiating a new posting (or following up on a previous one) Pan opens a new window for the text to be posted. I start typing my text, opening the first line with a tab character, or a suitable number of spaces. As I keep typing, on reaching the 80th column my text is wrapped around to th

[Pan-users] Changing the background color

   By default (at least on my Linux box) the Pan window is displayed with a white background. I know how to change the color of the tezt, using the Preferences menu. But, what about the background? Can its color be changed? I'd like for my background to be black, with text in white, or other light
