> If the problem at Pan or the news server? Well, it could be said to be at both. If the server isn't implementing something the RFC says is mandatory, that's a problem. That said, the advice when coding up RFC implementations has always been (paraphrased) "Be tolerant in what you accept, strict in what you send." Obviously some clients work on the server, so it's possible, and pan could be considerably more tolerant of what currently simply assumes is an implemented command, accepting non-compliant implementations and working around them using other commands as other clients obviously do. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
