This should go to the user list rather than the developer list.  However,
now that it's here anyway...

You get the same composition dialog when mailing or posting to group (or
to both).  The difference is in what (sending only. from line and sig,
nothing about where it's going except that determines which from line and
sig ar used) profile is used, and which line, the newsgroups line or the
mailto line, is filled in.

You also don't mention if it works correctly if you use the menu option
instead of the hotkey.  Note that the hotkeys can be changed, so if R
isn't doing what you expect, maybe it's because the hotkey was changed, if
going thru the menus works.

In any case, however, as I mentioned, the dialog is the same.  The only
thing that changes with the mail function vs the post to group function is
which line, newsgroups or mailto, is filled out.  Thus, if it's the
newsgroups line filled out, delete that and fill out the mailto line
instead, and it should go thru the mail.

This assumes of course you've set PAN up to know what server to use to
mail it, which is separate from setting up any profiles.  Look under
Preferences, Apps and Mail tab, Sending Mail.  You should have an SMTP
server address and port number (default 25) set there.
