Pan is cool but beware the lastest version bombs on 7.1. When trying to update the list It seg faults. and the bug buddy comes up... -----Original Message----- From: Steven Hatfield [mailto:ashari@knightswood.net] Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2001 11:40 PM To: Steven T.

I had been working on a usenet message for about 20 hours. I was trying to reply to a question about ancient Germanic tribes living in the south of France during the rise of Charles Martel. I had been saving the message to draft with the reasonable expectation that it would be backed up. I opened the file to edit and while it was opened the power went out. The file is no longer in drafts, and KNode has no backup that I know of.
I have two questions in this regard: 1) Is there a way to fish this file out of some kind of temp file generated by KNode? 2) Is there a tool which is as easy to use as KNode and which will backup my currently open files?
TIA,

Man.. how I feel for you! I've had this same thing happen to me in KMail.. before the 2.2 updates. Which version of KNode are you using? Perhaps the newer 2.2b1 (released 7/2/01) should help make your life better. Have you checked out Pan? It's a Gnome based client, but it is much nicer than KNode, imho. It supports things like multi-threaded/non-blocking receive/post, multi-part mime message handling, and built in mime-type handling, so you can play MP3 files from downloaded messages w/o loading up xmms. You can get it at http://pan.rebelbase.com.
