I used to use pan and was happy with it, but it started acting up about
a year or so ago, so I can no longer use it.

I use pan on my Linux desktop at home. It does have bugs, which
haven't bothered me enough to brush off my gdb skills from yore.

Glad to see your post. What did you see in pan?

(I get occasional freezing. Also, it doesn't
handle long Newsgroups: lines properly.)

I switched to Thunderbird
(I work under Ubuntu Linux) and it's OK, but not as nice, I feel.
Does anyone know what is wrong with pan?
What other news readers are recommended?

I remember it had a bug with a header, but it is fixed in current
versions.

Have you tried it again?

No, I haven't. Also, your newsreader seems to have a bug since it's
quoting something I haven't posted.

I'm confused. Seems okay to me. db started a thread, and Moock replied
to db. That's what I see. Moock cited only [part of] the OP's article.

I don't see Moock citing anything from any of your posts. His
References header only had one MID, and it was from db's post.

I think 's|b' was just confused, seeing what he thought was his screen
name in the attribution, but it was actually 'db', not 's|b':

As usual, you are right. Apologies (to your newsreader), Marco!

Am I the only one in the world who uses knode? Years ago I decided I
like it better than pan, but I don't remember the reasons.

I really liked Knode. As KDE does, they have removed it (unsupported) and
it's gone from Debian repos. Seems many think, "just use Thunderbird for
news", but it's not a good newsreader in my opinion.

I used Knode 20 years ago and liked it. I liked the original Pan of
that time too, but the modern rewrite of Pan was too full of problems
for me to persevere with it.

Pan was nice, but now it doesn't show buttons on windows for me, and other problems. I've given up on Pan now.

I'm using Sylpheed, which I like, but I find it irritating when it checks groups while you're reading a message, then that message gets marked as read, and disappears from the headers (using Show Unread). Going back to look for
it is a pain. Other than that, it's not too bad.

knode is still available in Opensuse 15.5 - not in the default
distribution, but in one of their subsidiary repositories.

I'll have to look into that. I'd like to run it (knode) if I can, even
just to mess with it.

Btw, I also miss OS/2 Newsreader/2 :)
