When using the article filter in a news group, it would be nice if
there could be a .not. or invert button somewhere. So if the filter is
"Banana", then I'd like to be able to hit the button and select all the
articles (so I can delete them or mark them read) that DON'T have Banana
in there...

1) When in a thread and you press minus several times the thread should
continue collapsing until at the 'root' of the thread. It's a pain to
have to move to a part of the thread for collapsing it further.
[ ] Martin Wulffeld <[email protected]>
6) Ignoring a thread Pan should automatically move to the next unread
thread/message.
[ ] Martin Wulffeld <[email protected]>
12) Maybe I didn't look close enough but I can't find a purging
mechanism!?
[ ] Jacob Gorban <[email protected]>
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
[+] again to close the thread.
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.

Yesterday I opened a group and tagged the
first 3 files at the top of the list. I inadvertantly also had the "minus
sign - book pic - name of group" at the top of the article pane selected. I
pressed SHIFT-S and nothing. I did so a few times before realizing I had the
group name selected also. No biggie, just might confuse someone...
[ ] Adam Warner <[email protected]>
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.
[ ] 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?
[ ] Paul Smith <[email protected]>
I've selected the "use single click preview" option but am not getting
the effect I'd like. I'd like to press N to go to the next unread
message and display it in the preview pane similar to pressing Ctrl-U in
Outlook Express, but I still seem to have to actually click on the
message in the thread pane to display it in the preview pane. Is there
something I'm doing wrong? Apologies if I've missed something obvious.
[ ] When you go back to the articles tab from the message tab, the
view is down at the bottom of the window instead of up at the
current article, where it should be.
[ ] Martin Cosgrave <[email protected]>
It would be nice to have some sort of bandwidth limitation; since the
news server is usually the closest thing it seems to get high bitrates
at the expense of other more distant services.

Decode a random group of articles selected by user
[ ] Doug Palmer <[email protected]>
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.
[ ] 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" <[email protected]>
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.
[ ] Convenient jumping from one newsgroup to another from a post's newsgroups
header (ie, viewing a crossposted message thread in all it's newsgroups)
[ ] replace ^I with spaces when posting a message to skip tab damage
[ ] 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.
[ ] Andreas Scherbaum <[email protected]>
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.

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 <[email protected]>
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.
[ ] Matthew Lenz <[email protected]>
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 <[email protected]>
preview a binary attachment. (for example only download and decode the
first N number of parts and then launch in associated viewer.)
[ ] 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 [email protected]
if you can provide one for testing.)
