   Right now, Pan is better, I'd say.   
      
   But newscamel has one feature that I don't think many newsreaders have,   
   which is recording "read" (red) articles by Message-ID.   
      
   That way, no matter which news server you switch to,   
   it will accurately indicate read articles.   
      
   I'm thinking maybe I should go back to Pan, and add that feature.   
   Issue there is I'm not as strong with C++ as I am with C or perl.
