(Please kill the html, at least for pan's list.)

I had wondered about that.

Could you either switch ssl off temporarily as a test, or if your groups 
are too sensitive or your ISP too nasty for that, temporarily setup a new 
pan instance (either move the default dir out of the way or set and 
export PAN_HOME pointing elsewhere, say from a terminal window, before 
starting pan, so it uses a different data dir) for testing, subscribe to 
some random "innocent" groups, and run without ssl while testing header 
download to them?
