I am using PAN v0.13.4

I do use that method, but..if I am disconnected from my isp, which happens 
alot... lousy isp, and ancient phonelines, pan continues to try to dl the 
flagged files, since there is no connection, it times out, and goes to the 
next msg/file, unflagging the previously flagged file. I then have to go back 
thru the msg lists and re-flag the msgs/files for download.
