[leafnode-list] Downloading headers and bodies separately

I'm using leafnode and pan as a newsreader. Leafnode is configured to
initially just download the headers. I'm still on slow dialup so I usually
mark the messages I want to read, and download them. With the next
fetchnews the bodies are downloaded. 

There are two problems with this. Pan doesn't recognise the new messages
and I can't turn off the cache. I have to close pan to empty the cache and
then the whole message shows up. So not that big a problem

My second problem is that I can't distinguish between messages who's
bodies are downloaded from messages without bodies. 

Is there some way to mark the messages in some way? Any tips or
recommendations?

thanks
