I do, but I don't use any gmane dialog, because I use the gmane news (not 
web) interface, and thus, pan.

Perhaps my remark that multiple pan instances might work around the issue, 
as would turning off the fetch headers at pan open, makes more sense in 
that light.  I'm using pan to read the list, thru gmane's news interface, 
not the web browser, thru their web interface.

Thus, no gmane 80-char dialog here, even tho I'm using gmane, because it's 
pan's warning I get instead, and in pan, it's just a warning, which you 
can ignore and post anyway.  (Usually in my case it's due to a long URL or 
some such, that breaks if wrapped, but the rest of the message is < 80 
chars so is fine, and I can and do simply hit the pan warning dialog's 
ignore button.)

That make a bit more sense now, or is one or both of us still missing the 
other's point?
