thus "f grammar" I should start *speaking* in pedant mode. Maybe
that will keep the neanderthals away.

I took "f grammar" as an invitation to tease :-)

Thanks. I missed that the first time. And no cygwin needed! I'm
going to give cygwin another try, though.

Bite the bullet. Get into Linux. You'll tear your hair for about six
months, then things will suddenly drop into place, and you'll wonder how
you ever managed without it.
I dumped Windoze totally back in 2000.

Hahahahaha! Try Edit>Preferences>Apps & Mail>Web Browser.
Whoever built your Pan must have a wry sense of humor to make IE the
default browser :-(
I've never use Pan on Windoze, mainly because I don't have Windoze.

Whenever I want to post a binary to a.b.s.e, I have to use knode. Which
is an OK newsreader, too, but there's just something about Pan. :-)

True, it doesn't, and, judging by correspondence on the pan users mailing
list, it won't have any time soon.
I use Sylphheed-Claws (which I use anyway as my main mail client) for
posting binaries. It's not a bad news client, but won't let you download
all bodies in a group at one go (at least I've not found a way of doing
it). It handles MIME headers properly, so you don't get the usual thing of
pdfs showing up in Pan as text if you post them using Sylpheed. It's about
the best mail client I've ever used.
