[Pan-users] A possibly overly difficult request.

[Eric Ortega]

I use pan 0.13.3.93 in one of the earlier setups.  I have a long, tall
panel on the left which has "groups", clockwise there exist headers, and
then the body of the latest article I happen to be reading.  Assuredly,
there are many other components of PAN around that I am not referencing,
but this is enough for a basic setup.

Many times while reading articles using 'n' to advance from one to the
next, I also maybe read about another interesting group or get distracted
and roam off to Mozilla and find out about something or whatever.

It appears that I can play with the group "column" for a while, even
so much as searching for and then adding another group to my subscribed
list, downloading articles for it, browsing their headers, rejecting the
group entirely, and then going back to the thread I was originally reading
with the only consequence being that I've lost the functionality of the 
'n' key entirely.  What this means is that I need to find the thread I was
actually in in the miriad of unfolded threads in the group I was reading
before I was distracted.

The body of the last message I was reading is still there, but 'n' has no
idea what that was.  As a matter of fact, the true purpose of the 'n' key
is a little suspect.  At times it will bounce you to the next article, at
other times it will do nothing.

Take, for example, in this version of PAN that I am using.  Even though I
have selected in the "preferences" or wherever I found it, that single
clicking should not download and parse and also email my mother or whatever
it does by default, now when I click on another group it blanks out the
header panel and also ruins 'n' functionality.  'n' is lost here ... and so
am I.  :)


Is it possible to make 'n' work like, go to the next article that is in all
senses related to the article that is displayed in the "message body"
panel?
