RE: [Pan-users] Re: Order groups in Subscribed list

[Niclas Ekstedt]

Duncan,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give that a shot. But with a 100 monitored 
newsgroups
that would mean a lot of "servers" in PAN. I'm not sure that would make it 
easier to
navigate through than just having them all in one group and just manually 
select them
in the order I want. I'll have to try it and see.

Hopefully a future version will have waht I'm looking for.
