|Had a look at the pan layout preference dialog 
|(http://pan.rebelbase.com/screenshots/prefs_|2.png), and it 
|looks good to me.

Me too, but I found a bug in their lay-out: the last item should read
	1=Body, 2=Headers, 3=Group
instead of
	1=Body, 2=Headers, 3=Body
Otherwise it's almost the way I described it (I'm amazing myself here :^P)

|I will have a deeper look at it, and will send new mail if I 
|got more infos from it.
|
|However, it might be easier to implement our own preference 
|code, than to reuse things from pan (except the icons, they 
|look very good), but I must have a look at pan's sources first.

I also think so, as we don't know how tightly the pan "operational" code is
attached to its GUI.

|BTW: as drag-and-drop is not fully supported on all platforms 
|(namely not on Win32), a simple dragging mechanism to change 
|the GUI layout seem's to be currently impossible 
|(unfortunately, as this would be the best solution IMHO).

I can live with the dialog from pan :)
