Well, I don't think I've left much of a footprint in the FreeBSD
community - maybe in the rather smaller Pan-on-FreeBSD one.:-)

Sounds like you're still seeing it? In which version?

At first it seemed like something like that to me too, but I had the
same problem in plain text groups - and it wasn't just an occasional
occurrence, Pan was basically unusable.

Right now I'm not asking anything:-), since the git version seems to

already there in 0.135 goes) - great work! Maybe it's time for a "real"
release?
