Now I have got myself a nice new newsreader. It didn't cost me anything,
which is nice.
It's Pan for Windows, version 0.14.2 which I believe is the latest version
for Windows.

I can't click on URLs in the message body, even if they are highlighted
and are underlined.

However, and this is the really odd bit, I *can* click on sigs,
which is very odd. URLs in sigs don't work either.

Anyone have a clue? This is prolly really easy but I can't find it. Have
tried different charsets.

I always found Pan to be buggy.

Yep, it just sometimes bombs out, very annoying.

It's not even hit version 1 yet, despite being around for donkey's
years. Are you surprised it's buggy?

It will be the command to open the browse

Edit/Preferences/Apps&Mail
mozilla -remote 'openURL(%s)'

This tells it to open mozilla in a remote window.
I really should point it at Firefox I suppose :=)

Good suggestion but I looked at that before as well.

But... I have just restarted Pan and now everything seems to be working as
it should.

That was very wierd, being able to click on sigs and have them open a
browser window.

Not exactly intuitive, or the first thing an idiot user would think of
though is it? %s?

As opposed to the no-setup-required-just-click-on-the-link of OE, and
probably most other clients?

Feck. It's a newsreader as well?
I never knew.
How do you get it to work?
Must be one of those buttons on the handlebars.

Usenet compliant Sports Touring 1100cc Motorcycles, whatever next.

Thought: Praps its only on the newer 1300 Pan? A good reason to
upgrade?
