Amadeus W.M:
Seriously now, how do I switch among news servers in pan? FC6.
Jack Spaar:
With "new" pan you don't need to. All servers' groups are mushed together in one big list. When you read a particular newsgroup, pan contacts the appropriate server.
(I'm still getting used to it.)
I've seen other news clients work that way, and they made a right pig's breakfast of things when the same group was available on different servers, with the same messages but with different article numbers or message IDs, more so if a server didn't have all of the messages that you wanted to read (you didn't have a way to manually choose the server that you wanted, to try and work around it).
Does Pan get that right?
