I gave up pretty quickly on Pan (trying both versions).

knode was better but didn't provide much better filtering.

I like sensible defaults and lots of configurable options, but looking 
at popcon.debian.org there aren't many newsreaders under active use.

I've installed leafnode and after some initial fun and games with 
tweaking settings have it working in conjunction with Thunderbird.
