[Pan-users] batching new header retrieval

[oldschool]

Thanks for the great news reader and the splendid improvements to the pending 
release.  I can't think of many other projects moving forward at this pace.

I check in on many groups only occasionally.  The header download for a seldom 
visited mp3 group can take a dozen minutes or more.  I realize juggling 
300,000+ articles in a group will ALWAYS be slow, but would a batch script 
that retrieved new headers for subscribed groups save some of that time?

Can I off-load (pre-load?) any of the wait?

Does anyone know of another program/script that fetches header info in a form 
pan can use?  OR any reasonable form, I'll try to hack something together if 
there's interest.
