%%name: Pan

%%short-description: Threaded newsreader for GNOME 

%%full-description: Pan supports article reading, writing, and
replying via usenet or e-mail. Articles can be organized by thread,
and sorted by author, date, subject, or the number of unread children
in the thread. They can be filtered by regular expression matching,
read/unread state, binary/text,etc; groups can also be filtered by
subscribe/new/all. Killfiles let you specify authors and thread that
you never want to see. The program caches article headers locally for fast
group loading, and you can queue selected articles, threads and entire
groups for offline reading.  Pan also supports multiple connections, so you
can read articles while downloading binaries.

Pan also works well with binaries: it supports single-click decoding,
opening, or saving of binary messages, automatically groups multipart
articles together, and supports multiple connections (so you can
download many binaries at once). You can filter nonbinary, incomplete,
and previously saved messages out of the article list. The task
manager lets you cancel, resubmit, and reorder download tasks.

Pan supports both multiple servers and concurrent connections to
multiple servers, as well as NNTP authorization, for Usenet accounts
that require passwords; it works with servers on standard and
non-standard NNTP ports. You can specify maximum per-server
connections, session maximum connections, and which servers are
allowed to go online.
