There's a fine line between learning and masochism.  :)

Sweet.


ObPan:  I believe the maximum number of per-server connections is
hard-coded into the preferences dialog with a max of four.  Is there much
logic behind this?  Way back in the day I used to tweak this in one of the
Pan config files to eight or so, but I had the same problem that Duncan had
in that everytime I went to the configs it would revert.  I did not get so
sly as to write a script like he did and just went with max four.  Why
four?  Is it a good newsreader thing?
