Hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with a particular posting as once it 
starts it does it for all posts. Closing Pan and re-opening it makes the 
problem go away - for a day or so. I suppose it might be a temporary 
server problem; I've never tried to see if postings on other servers are 
affected at the same time.
