For some reason, I thought there was a preferences setting for this.
I have looked and looked, and cannot find it.  So I stand corrected.

I symlinked ~/.pan/messages/cache -> /scratch/cache and that works.
Putting this closure in the news archive so others can find it.

BTW, I had this cache in pan-0.13.2.92 grow to over 1.5Gig last night.
I have the limit set to 20Meg in my preferences. 
It cleaned itself up after a SegFault.  Wil attempt to reproduce and report.
