Re: [Pan-users] Re: New Groups - does it work?

[Kevin Brammer]

First, there's a reason I sent it HTML - I didn't know it was going
HTML.  I was sure I set gmail up to send plain text only.  I'm no
newbie to PAN or open source lists, it was an oversight.

The CVS version I'm using doesn't have a "get new groups" option.  It
has a "get list of groups", that's it.  Once that completes, I select
"New Groups" from the pull-down that also contains "Subscribed
Groups", "All Groups", and the like.  It's no big deal, I'll just wait
until the next release come April and see what happens.
