Hi, 

I tried Thunderbird to see if I could post to any groups.
I had no problems, however, I did notice the bodies were null, but the
subjects were correct.

I was getting ready to write an email to my newsgroup provider, when I
saw something about new payment plans.  When I checked out the news,
there it was, the server names changed.

I updated the server name in pan and gave it shot.  Bingo!
All the mail post in send later went out fine - no errors! :)

Funny thing is, pan at least alerted of the error while thunderbird
didn't report anything.  

Lastly, as a cosmetic side note, the "Cannot Post to Usenet" error needs
to be updated to reflect menu changes.

Also, I did notice a small glitch when pan tries to read a NULL message
body.  The task manager keeps attempting for each click and it appears
to lockup, not allowing to cancel any of the items in the queue.  I was
able to get some processes to delete the bad message - when I did that,
all the jobs in the queue disappeared and all was back to normal.  The
first time it occurred, I wasn't so lucky, had to force quit pan.


Great to see the new version coming along.  The new message handling is
awesome. :)  Great job.


Thanks,
Rich
