I'll swap over to Thunderbird if it becomes too erratic. About your remarks on flushing oil. I was thinking along the same lines generally. I'm going to use the additive first and then do another oil change after a few hundred miles. Very wasteful at £22-00 (Halfords) but worth it overall.

It's really that I like to know exactly what the position is. The car is nearly 9 years old with a decent service history but I like to check everything for myself before I drive a new car. If anything has been neglected I want to put it right before it can get worse.

Literally seconds after posting here, I had a Pan multi-post in another NG!. Bloody annoying; it only seems to happen when my news server is slow. Chris -- Remove prejudice to reply.

Bloody annoying; it only seems to happen when my news server is > slow. Yep - I think it's to do with the way that Pan handles time-outs on posting confirmations. Unfortunately, Pan development seems to have ceased. 0.133 - beta, Aug 2008 0.14.2 - stable, Aug 2003... http://pan.rebelbase.com/ I love T'bird as a mail client, but not as a news client. I'm reasonably happy with Pan - it's about the least-worst out there. |
