When you try to post a message with no body text, the expected behaviour
is an error message asking if you're sure you want to post.

To help track down the bug you are experiencing, try to see if other
behaviours that call similar dialog boxes also "freeze" Pan. Some
behaviours that call the same warning dialog:

 Posting a message with mostly quoted text (not sure of the ratio...)
 Crossposting a message without setting FollowupTo
 Posting a message with long lines

On this list (or group, if you use the gmane.org list<=>newsgroup server
as I do...) there has been some discussion recently about a user who
crashes when posting a message with long lines. I would suspect that you
are encountering the same problem. I don't recall if there was a solution,
but you could check the previous posts to see if that helps...
