I /can't/ use it, because the ISP mail server verifies the domain of the from 
address as an anti-spam measure (for whatever good THAT does, but..), and I 
use an @ cox.reply2group.net.please munged address for news which obviously 
won't resolve (tho it is unmungable).  In fact, for that reason I couldn't 
use it even if the mail server didn't refuse it, because I wouldn't want my 
unmunged address posted in the newsgroups, but WOULD want a legit return 
address posted by mail.

That brings up a good feature request.  Could PAN be made to use different 
return addresses automatically when replying to both group and OP, like it 
does using profiles if you reply to each individually?

As it is, I do the individual replies, then copy/paste the text of one into 
the other.  That works, but the point of computers, after all, is to automate 
such tasks, so it's definitely a kludge.
