First, there's a reason I sent it HTML - I didn't know it was going
HTML. I was sure I set gmail up to send plain text only. I'm no
newbie to PAN or open source lists, it was an oversight.
The CVS version I'm using doesn't have a "get new groups" option. It
has a "get list of groups", that's it. Once that completes, I select
"New Groups" from the pull-down that also contains "Subscribed
Groups", "All Groups", and the like. It's no big deal, I'll just wait
until the next release come April and see what happens.
