Pan 0.105 does not save Sent postings
Last modified: 2007-11-03 10:45:18 UTC
In Pan 0.14.2.91, there were folders that the user could view that contained Send items and Send later items. Now, in the beta 0.105 version, any items posted are seemingly lost. I would like to suggest bringing back this feature so that posts can be saved in an article_sent folder or similar just as you now have article_cache and article_drafts. Other information: This bug dialog does not seem to allow the user to select the proper version of Pan to make this report. Thx.
(note: thanks for specifying the version number. When you've got weekly releases flying out the door, it's easier and less cluttered to group everything under a single "pre-1.0 betas" rubric...)
Just out of curiosity, what's the upside to saving your posts locally?
The other day, I posted a rather lengthy ANN to a gmane list. It took around 36 hours to post. During that wait, I thought (maybe) pan did NOT send it. Maybe I had misconfigured something, maybe there was a bug, but I had no way to know, maybe gmane went offline, or maybe sf had trouble. In any event, I wanted to resend the post just in case the first one was lost. Without the Sent folder, I had no way to know what I wrote and basically ended up blabbing the same thing in three ways ultimately! One of the nice features I enjoy in 0.14 is that it catalogs all posts so I can review over time my contributions to different lists offline. I can see them all chrono in one place. Of course, I can view posts online too and filter by "me." But, just as you have a sent folder for email, I think it's very worthwhile to have a sent folder for usenet too. I would also hope it would archive emails too. Finally, If you feel this feature is worthwhile, I believe it, along with the drafts folder should be accessible via the groups pane under other. --Subscribed --Other --Pan Folders ----->Drafts ----->Sent ----->Saved (here downloaded items can be viewed).

[For search purposes the title could contain the words "items" and "folder", as in "Sent items folder"] Thanks Charles, I'm still enjoying using Pan! The combined news server design is great, though the automatic multiple feeds were a big shock (I quickly went over quota on a free text news server when downloading all headers before I even realised I was accessing it. I edited the server out of preferences.xml). In answering "what's the upside to saving your posts locally?", I sometimes need to resend a post or grep my sent messages to recall my part in a conversation. I'd rather not solely rely upon Google Groups when searching. In addition, one expects all email clients to support the saving of sent messages (when using Pan as an email client to send a private reply). Regards, Adam

I'd like to expand this feature request to include not only a "sent" folder but also other user-defined folders (similar to what existed in the "old" PAN) into which individual newsgroup messages or complete threads could arbitrarily be copied and pulled up later for review. The current PAN version (.119) allows saving to a directory but no means of opening the directory under PAN. And even if there were, the whole process is far more cumbersome than the old scheme of right-clicking on the message or thread, selecting "copy to folder", and then clicking on the folder list which appeared.
