The old Pan DID do this, like any reasonable
newsreader should.  But in their wisdom the developers
actually *removed* this expected feature in the new
C++ Pan. So if you want it, "upgrade" to old Pan.

I posted some time ago requesting this feature be put
back.  Looks like it hasn't been.  I hate to whine
about any useful open source project, but the field of
available linux newsreaders is quite small and on this
one development is certainly slow ....

Looks like I might have to be trying XNews via wine,
though I have an aversion to not being able to run
native linux apps.

Is there a need to add developers to the team,
presumably fluent in C++?  If so, has there been a
call for volunteers?
