Pan newsreader,which I used happily for several years, lately get buggy 
as hell and cannot be used any longer at all.

I tried Thunderbird from Debian repo and found that the pure thing is not 
capable to keep a uniform font size through all posts. That is, the font 
size changes as soon as I try to advance either to a next post or to another 
group. 

Can your share with me what do you use for newsgroups reading. I do not care 
about binaries. All I want to follow several Linux usenet newsgroups. Plain 
text reading.

Thanks

Claws-mail besides being a text-based only email client can also access
NNTP news accounts, too. Although, I've never done so.  Abandoned NNTP
and pan a year ago.

You can configure Thunderbird to use plain text (compose and send) and
also set it up so it treats html as text and not display all the
internal content,  logos, pictures and other nonsense people insist on
sending, sometimes replying to an html e-mail results in the reply being
html unless you set it up or notice.

No idea what happens at the other end, causes all sorts of issues at
both ends as it is.

Why go to all that trouble?  Claws does all that by default.  An
html email displays as plain text.  No code. However, there is a
plugin html interpreter if you need must see the html version in all its
wasteful, artsy-fartsy glory.

As far as I can tell, replying to an html email with Claws results in
the reply being sent plain text only.

I don't know either, but I've never had anyone, even MS Outlook users,
complain they can't read my emails.

And may I ask you what do you use to follow this very maillist?

Erm, he probably uses a email client to follow this email list like I
guess a lot (most?) people do, usenet newsgroups are a different thing
to email. Though I understand from other posts here over the years that
there are services that present mailing lists like these and newsgroups
.

That last line should have read...
there are services that present mailing lists like these as newsgroups.

And Juan, I see from the email headers for your posts that you are
using one of those services, namely Gmane.

Yes, I am using Gmane. In fact practically all Linux related lists I
follow using it.

I'm still mostly using Pan, but this post I am making using
Claws-Mail. Yes, it is not bad at all for my purposes. 

Much better then Thunderbird with its crazy font size "free dance" and
it does not close group pane on its own volition as Pan does. Boy, that
"feature" of Pan drove me nuts lately. And somehow it closes group pane
or at best reduces it size, all at a sudden, almost exclusively when I
am reading 'debian.users' list. Pan is a good reader but I get sick and
tired spending about 1/3 of my time fishing out the group pane it
closes.

Claws-mail.  I don't follow it on NNTP as some do.  All you have to do
to recieve the list via email is subscribe.

Your headers, however, indicate that you follow it through newsgroup
gmane.linux.debian.user.

Can you elaborate which SMTP headers in particular led you to this
conclusion please?

Because all I saw in that e-mail was pretty typical for GMail user using
Claws-Mail as MUA.


PS Mutt and headers editing. Need to be more careful next time.

Oops, I guess I am mistaken.
I follow this list through gmane myself.
So this is one of the headers I see in Patrick's message:

Newsgroups: gmane.linux.debian.user

But that header is in _every_ message in the list...

Oh, now I see it.
Your e-mails have "X-Injected-Via-Gmane: http://gmane.org/".
Us, plain SMTP users, lack it.

No. Use gmail IMAP'd.  Receive emails directly from Debian mail list
server.  I don't even have NNTP set up anywhere on this system.  Or
even enabled on claws-mail.

How are you receiving your Debian mail list emails?  If you're getting
them from a NNTP newsgroup service, I would expect the headers to be
newsgroup related.

Yes, my mistake. As you could have read in the posts between me and Reco,
I'm on Gmane, so I see this header in every message:
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.debian.user
Which took me to the wrong conclusion that you also follow this list
through Gmane.

As far as an NNTP client is concerned... gnus, of course.

How can it be configured to show all headers both read and unread even
after leaving and coming back to a group?  This is my gripe about most
newsreaders where the default is trim the headers list aggressively.

The news server I used in the past was news.aioe.org and it is still
online.

I just installed Pan on Buster and it picked up where I'd left off well
over a year and a half ago.  I did adjust the body and monospace fonts
to Hack regular and other than the preferences dialog being spread
across 1.5 of my two screens and not responding to resizing, I don't see
it failing in a 30 second test.

You can use /o for showing all "old" messages.  But I doubt you really
want this for some groups.  What works well, in practice, however, is to
show all the old headers in threads for any new messages.  You can get
this behaviour by setting gnus-fetch-old-headers to t.

I used to use this but, these days, gmane gives me access to all the
groups I read.

Would be interested in what people are using for NNTP services, as there
are not as many out there now,  probably lots of newsgroups but less
ISPs offering this as a service.

Thanks

For text-only groups I use mutt.
