GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 80000
Pan downloads all headers on entering a group first-time
Last modified: 2006-06-18 05:14:21 UTC
This is typically not what a user entering a group for the first time wants. It would be better to have Pan download the most recent 500 or so headers. Otherwise the user could wind up downloading tens of thousands of articles that they don't want.
