PAN Newsreader v0.133 Problem

[tecknomage]

PAN v0.133 installed via SPM

Whenever I compose and send a post, PAN closes.

Note the older version I had on Ubuntu 9.04 did NOT have this problem. I see from the PAN WEB site that v0.133 is a Beta version. The "stable" version = 0.14.2

Cannot find the DEB package for the stable version.

reassigned to pan package

I think I found the cause.

This version of PAN uses "xterm" as the default editor. Not only that, the default HTML is
"mosilla."

In Ubuntu had to change the HTML handler to "firefox," and the editor to "gedit."

I can now send a new post in PAN without PAN closing, just the editor closes. Have not verified with a reply yet.
