Re: [Pan-users] Groups w/huge header count won't load?

Another option as well (one I didn't mention before because it didn't really 
occur to me, even though I've spent the last few days setting it up) is to set 
up your own news server (I use INN) and then use the 'suck' program to pull the 
messages off of the server.  Then you can more easilly control the selection of 
messages you wish to look at.  I know some use Leafnode as well to do this, 
same idea, really.

I'm running on an IBM Thinkpad A20M w/384 MB RAM and Cellie 550
(basically, a neutered P III).

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up, David. :-)  It even has an
optional qt interface, sweet (I'm assuming it's a recent version
of qt as I'm haven't yet installed it)...  Thanks, too, for
responding when you did.  I literally had the Windows CD in the
drive and was about to reboot, when I decided to check the email
once more JIC.  So, disaster averted. ;-P
