The irony is that I've come up against a bug in Pan that causes most 
articles to disappear from the list before I get a chance to see them, and 
the only way to get them back is by deleting and reloading them all. Pan 
is a nice newsreader, but this bug is a show stopper so I'm going to have 
to find another newsreader. How do you find SeaMonkey? Is the newsreader 
component the same as Thunderbird?
