    I use Pan as well (for want of a better newsreader). There are some
    strange things missing, or at least hidden. How do you expire old
    articles? How do you killfile someone? The manual doesn't seem to say.

    Killfile is per group. Right click on one of their posts, then 'Ignore
    Author'. Selecte 'Forever'.

    You fiddle with article/author scores. The default "Header view" excludes anything with a score of -9999

    For expiring, this is per news server. So:

    Edit -> Edit News Servers -> select server -> Edit

    and it's therender Settings.

    I *think* that's filtering, rather than expiring.

    what ****ing moron Put the "Ignore thread" and "Watch thread"

    It's about the same in thunderbird, but surely it's normal to group
    related functions together? Isn't there a keyboard shortcut you can use?


    Wait ... what moron put the J key (mark as junk) next to the K key
    (ignore thread) on the keyboard?
