A slight misunderstanding there, I think. Pan works fine for me, except
there are some more features I'd like to see, notably the ability to use it
as a GNOME URL handler, but I've requested that already. It was someone
else that asked, and I just wanted to point him towards the Pan web site.

Anyhow, I guess your information is valuable anyway, given the copy to the
GNOME list.

Argh... Yet another mailing list. I always preferred newsgroups myself,
but it looks like nobody else does (but then again, a newsgroup would
perhaps be somewhat meaningless in this case.)
