I've been using newspost to do just this, as advised by the Pan
developers. Newspost is now fully GPL'd, so I could not see why Pan
could not have simply a button to call Newspost (even though it's a
command line application).
I have suggested this many times and was told that the plan was
included in future direction of the Pan code, which we are being told
again, so again I presume my suggestion to call a binary poster by
simply calling newspost from a button on the GUI is being
rejected....again.
I have just given up asking and just use newspost as a separate
application. Is this what the Pan developers want the rest of us to do,
and not have a newsreader with binary posting facilities? On
newspost's web site, there are screenshots when its used with Pan, so
is having a button for newspost too unsatisfactory an answer?:
