That's not quite what I wanted but it's exactly what I'm getting. The
article's headers are still "present". Once or twice I've selected the
article in the header list and Pan retrieves the body (faithfully.)

Is there some way to track the progress or know when it's done? I'd
consider attempting it myself but not if someone else is working on it.

I would have done that also, but I've subscribed to another mailing list
through Gmane.org and some of the important messages (for example, from TJ
Watson research) have some HTML.

Agreed.
