Thanks for the prod.  I can confirm that 0.143's working with TLS now on 
gmane. =:^)

"Last I checked" was actually just a few days after the move, when I got 
tired of no gmane updates because TLS apparently /wasn't/ up again yet.

But that has of course been... at guess without checking, about a year 
ago now, and obviously some time in there they fixed it. =:^)

So yes, they "just" reintroduced, but "just" is relative, and could 
actually have been months ago, for all I know anyway.

Thus as I said, thanks for the prod. It's working now, both with the 
"new" gmane code (which might actually be months old by now), and with 
the new pan code.  =:^)
