[Pan-users] Feature: Predictive Downloading

[John Burwell]

It would be nice if pan would download the next message the user is  
likely to read automatically while the user reads each current message.

I didn't find a similar request in the mailing-list archives or in  
the bugs database, so I apologize if this has been brought up before.

For longer or larger messages, it would really make pan feel snappy  
if, say, the next and previous messages relative to the message  
currently being displayed were always on-disk ready for display. More  
advanced users might enjoy the ability to configure the buffer count,  
to keep three or more messages at the ready in each direction.

Thoughts?
