   It's a matter of preference.  It is more like Agent than OE.  It has very   
   good filtering and scoring capabilities.   
      
   It is a little buggy still, occasionally crashing for no damned good   
   reason, but it is very easy to use, and easy on the eyes.  Some of the   
   linux faithful prefer to use a command-line based reader.     
      
   I like Pan, and will likely stick with it.  It keeps getting better...
