Hi Maurice,

I may be missing your point entirely, and if I am please let me know.

I'm not clear about what you mean by 'kept'.  Did you explicitly save
each article individually in a new file somewhere in your home directory?

If not, then maybe you were depending on pan to 'keep' the posts forever
in its own temporary cache?  I know of no news client that will do that,
because the cache really is temporary and eventually must be purged of
old articles to make room for new ones.
