OK, reverted back to HEAD.  Looks like I was correct with my first guess, 
it's a per-server setting, and the combination of my missing it when 
looking for it originally, and your misdirection to preferences (which I 
took to mean pan prefs, not server prefs) had me looking in the wrong 
place.

So per-server it already is. =:^)

But, you do seem to be correct, the setting doesn't seem to be working 
yet.  gmane logs a 500 What error for XZVER regardless of whether I have 
the compression setting enabled in the server prefs for gmane or not. =:^(

So I'll be reverting again.  But I can still /send/ messages from the 
broken-for-fetching-overviews version, so I will.

Meanwhile, I looked up this message in the new sent messages folder to 
reply, and set the newsgroups line (and posting profile) appropriately.  
That's the first time for that.  We'll see if /that/ works.
