When reading articles using shortcut key N (for next unread article),
the articles do not get marked read, although when pressing M (mark
as read) the article only then gets marked read.

The unread count stays the same. When I come back, it is still displayed
as unread (the closed envelope icon). Also, I quit Pan and restart it and
the article is still unread. Also, when I get new messages (the A shortcut
key), the already read articles are still marked as unread and then it's
already a total mess :(
> BTW, is this for all articles or just some of them?
This is for all articles in all groups. I think I first noticed it a
couple of days ago when I updated from CVS.

1. Steps to reproduce:
Select a thread which has several replies. Press the [+] button on
the left of it. Select one of the early replies and press on

Result:
In the thread (header) pane the cursor will be on a line which is
(number of replies - number of previously selected reply)
higher than the thread where it was opened.

One annoying bug in Pan is that it opens multiple downloads for the same

Pan is great! One suggestion here: How about being able to pan (no

scroll bar(s). Right click zoom 1:1 and fit window (along with memory
of this setting) would be great as well.

For example, I just posted to nz.test and aus.test (nz.test; aus.test).
If I follow up to nz.test then the cross-posting works.
However if I follow up to aus.test then I am only posting to aus.test.
This is a verified problem. There also appears to be an issue where
replies to a cross-post are only seen in one of the newsgroups.

What I'd really like to see is (at least an option for) the delete key
to not only delete the current message, but also select/display the next
message. One thing I've always liked about Agent is that it allowed the
user to combine the ease and paned display of a GUI with a setup for
(mostly) keyboard use that allows the user to read through a lot of
messages very fast.
[ ] Jordan Nelson (pan-users)
It would be very helpful if you could configure Pan to run a system call
(like a perl script or something) with the filename of the just-decoded
file as the first argument. This could allow for doing whatever you want
to a file, such as automatically sorting it, logging it to a database,
etc. Am I making any sense?
[ ] Ryan Ware (pan-users)
The first is a way to save the task list so that it doesn't disappear if
you exit. On rare occasions, Pan has crashed on me after I've selected
what to download for the night. It would be nice if I could just reload
what was in the task list.
[ ] Ryan Ware (pan-users)
Also, sorting the tasklist by date/time the article was posted would be
nice. My connection isn't very fast (iDSL) and it would be nice to start
with what's going to expire first.

It would also be nice to be able to merge groups together so that you
didn't have to see the same posts in group after group. However, this can
have a tendency to use a _lot_ of memory.
[ ] Johnathan Moran
<saving the queue for Pan's next session> could be handy, though somewhat
at cross purposes with flagging articles. In the past Pan would leave the
little triangle image there for saving an attachment even if the download
had been cancelled. I would use that to go back and download the
attachments if for some reason I had to end what was in progress. However
Pan no longer does that and few times I've taken a screenshot of the task
list when I had painstakingly assembled a large download and then needed
to end it.

The Pan newsreader seems to have a bad bug. If I select an article in
the newsgroups list to save and then navigate to Folder Tools and "Move
Article", Pan just complains that I have to select a target folder in the
Groups list...
but everytime I select the Folder to move to, the newsgroup headers for
the newsgroup I'm in dissapear and so I can't select an article to move.
Either I'm not doing something right, or this is a seriously bad design
flaw in the interface. Exactly how am I supposed to save articles from
newsgroups in Pan? It doesn't seem possible...
and Pan REALLY needs to implement drag and drop. Come on its the 21st

- when scoring an article down and it reaches a certain lowpoint(slrn
uses -9999), it's killed - this enables gradually scoring bozo's out
of the display: first they might get scored down, then they
might get scored read and finally they might simply disappear
[ ] Ability to set an Expiry-Date on a Filter
[ ] Ability to score by Author:
- ie, scoring the good ones up, kinda like watching, but with
distinction: for example, my own articles are (of course :) high
priority, replies to my articles are scored high as well, unlessthey
were killed before. However, if an article got a low score for
example due to a certain newsreader (OE), but is a response to
my article, it is marked read, but displayed on top, below my
article in the thread, clearly marked as "important, but scored
down (ie read)"
[ ] Doug Palmer <doug@charvolant.org>
And for a difficult one. Is it possible to set up a rule action which says
'delete/mark as read this article and all the followups to this article
(or depth-n followups)'? This would be very useful in conjunction with a
spam/bozo filter. There are certain bozos that post in such a way as to
almost guarantee that the replies spiral into a mess of off-topic flaming.
Actually, depth-n followups would probably be the most useful, as things
settle down after a while; setting it to depth-1 would take care of most
problems. It wouldn't matter too much if this action gets things wrong
from time to time, as articles expire. But it would save a lot of pruning
time on potentially interesting megathreads.
[ ] Spoiler
Some time ago I implemented spoiler-support for pan, it's easy
enough - when you encounter "^L" (control-l, formfeed), you "mute"
the following text - you can copy most of the code from the
mute-quoted-text routine. It's common in all newsgroups discussing
tv-shows for example.
[ ] Attribution Line:
Different Attribution line according to what newsgroup you're in:
In German newsgrouop I use "X schrieb:" instead of "X wrote:"
Different possibilities of attribution line - currently Pan has
message-ID, author and date, I'd like to differentiate between
author-name and author-email, some people might want to have
subject and newsgroup (even though I personally don't see the
need for anything other than "X wrote:")
[ ] Special-character-decoding
Has this gotten better? I remember there were some special cases
where the decoding didn't work correctly. Also, how does Pan handle
detecting the correct charset for posting? Some people might be using
iso-8859-13 for example and that would need to be declared in the headers.
[ ] Cross-posted articles
If I read article x in group y and it was xposted to group z, then
ant tit to be marked read when I enter group z. I know this requires
database-synching of the different groups which, probably, is a PITA,
but it's really neat. Maybe one could do this through a filter?
mark read if article was already read in other group or something?
[ ] "Dan Stromberg" <strombrg@nis.acs.uci.edu>
Is there a way of piping an article through a filter? trn does this
with the "|" command - I've found it really useful. Even better than
that would be if there were a way of configuring pan so you have a
configurable button you can click that you've preassociated a command
with, that'll do the pipe without having to type the command each time.
I'm particularly interested in this so that I can pipe the ascii diagrams
in rec.games.go to a filter that makes the diagrams more presentable.
But this could also be helpful with unsharing source code and such too.

[ ] tree view for groups?
[ ] the subject Find: filter doesn't find new subjects nested in a thread
[ ] I'd like to select the whole text of the message (like ctrl-a in (Francesco)
[ ] For the newsgroup list pane, I find it irritating to have to set the
properties for each of the groups I subscribe, I rather liked Agent's way
of setting default properties for all of the subscribed newsgroups, and
being able to 'adjust' using the property for a particular newsgroup to
override the default properties.

And another thing, more a feature request: is it possible to get
a window to fetch a single message from server with a given
message-id? Most references to other articles coming this way
so it would be nice to give pan the message id and it will
fetch the message from the news server and display it.

This is a wish for Pan. Is it possible to have a button somewhere to
download flagged articles in all subscribed groups at once when clicked?
This will make it very convenient for offline browsing. Thank you.

Pan suggestion - have an option to check all subscribed newsgroups for
new messages on startup.
[ ] Jim Henderson <jhenderson@bigfoot.com>
Date/time is an option I like to have available, though, since I use
Netscape to read the same groups at work and know what time I'm caught
up through on the two servers I use most...
(Analysis: plugging in date/time into a rule and saving the rule to
have to apply it would be annoying; better to have the 'apply' button
let the user fill in fields somehow)
[ ] Jason Baietto <jason@metrolink.com>
I absolutely love pan, but I have a minor feature request.
Can you add resettable per-server download counters so that
I can keep track of how many megabytes I've downloaded from
a given server? Pan makes it so easy to download stuff that
I've exceeded my nntp provider's limits twice now.
Thanks in advance and thanks for a terrific product.

I'd like an Online/offline button for each server, so I don't have
to go to the Prefs window when I want to change the online/offline status.
[ ] Matthew Lenz <hohlraum@nocturnal.org>
i dunno how newshark does this, but it associates a 'life' percentage
to articles and gives you an idea as to how much longer a specific article
(or binary post cluster) will be around before being dropped from the
server. It also lets you sort by this percentage in the download pane.
(so you can be sure to download the oldest article first)
[ ] Matthew Lenz <hohlraum@nocturnal.org>
preview a binary attachment. (for example only download and decode the
first N number of parts and then launch in associated viewer.)
[ ] python/perl hooks
[ ] It can open all kinds of links without forcing netscape on me
[ ] virtual folders - one for programming, one for gardening
[ ] x-face support?
[ ] add task saving/loading so that task lists can be saved and run later.
[ ] Let the user go offline immediately after a task is completed, instead of
recycling sockets. (This will probably be in the form of putting the
"Close server connection after N seconds idle" control in the online
preferences dialog)
[ ] Add support for SSL. <http://www.moxienet.com/lynx/> has patches for SLL
support in Lynx, which points the way pretty nicely. (Note to users:
I need an account on an SSL news server; please mail charles@superpimp.org
if you can provide one for testing.)

Option to always make the article pane have the focus, so that
mouseless reading is easier, e.g. if you hit the log file button,
after a user-specified time the focus reverts to the article.
