Pan's version-strings are mainly inside configure.in named as VERSION_* .
Those are properly changed only when doing the ./autogen.sh phase, which
will create a new ./configure script for one.

Those strings get stuck inside
pan/gui/post-ui.cc (for posts) and
pan/gui/gui.cc (for 'About' panel)
(maybe other places?).

I have filed an oldish Bug #424083 to use these strings in a better way,
but I need to re-do it so an autogen.sh is not needed to alter them.
More info is in that bug-report.

As I mentioned earlier here, take a peek at my RFC headers, including on this
very post, to see how I am presently using the info in the User-Agent line.
That line should be visible on gmane as well as the normal maillist/archives.
FYI I do not know how to make the patch numbers "automatic" (they are the
same related bug-report numbers), so any clues on this would be appreciated.
(I am using brute-force-by-hand housekeeping.)

Locally I can always check my 'About' box for this extra info as well.  ;)

BTW to have the User-Agent line show on a post, while on the "Post Article"
panel, go into the "More Headers" tab and put a checkmark in the bottom area,
option clearly stated.  Without my patch, only Charles' version is shown.

(However, I see you do not use pan/gmane for posting here?)

:)
