Sweet! Wait, why are our passwords visible in texts in there? Shouldn't it be encrypted? :( Anyways, I edited this XML to use ~/.newsrc that Tin uses with read groups marked and stuff. However, Pan still downloaded old headers even though I told only new headers? I didn't have this problem in old v0.14.2.91. I am currently using Pan v0.133 from a brand new Debian's stable installation (it doesn't have the old Pan version to go back to). :( -- Quote of the Week: "It's kind of an insane case ... 6,000 ants dressed up as rice and robbed a Chinese restaurant." --Steven Wright /\___/\ Phil./Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \ Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | E-mail: [email protected]/[email protected] \ _ / If crediting, then please kindly use Ant nickname ( ) and AQFL URL/link. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
