Weird, that seems to have disappeared from 0.12.90... Oh, in recent versions
there is an online/offline mode. Maybe it works better6 What version are you
using?

What do you mean by "delete messages"? There is a cache concept in Pan and a
corresponding option to clear it upon exit. There is also a filter mode
where you askl to see only new articles posted since the last time you
looked at the group.

THOREAU'S THEORIES OF ADAPTATION
1) After months of training and you finally understand all of a program's
commands, a revised version of the program arrives with an all-new
command structure.
2) After designing a useful routine that gets around a familiar "bug" in
the system, the system is revised, the "bug" taken away, and you're
left with a useless routine.
3) Efforts in improving a program's "user friendliness" invariable lead
to work in improving user's "computer literacy".
4) That's not a "bug", that's a feature!
