On recommendation (ALUG Passim), went looking for Pan and found quite a lot of sites.

It seems that it's written for Gnome, which is fine on the Acer as I use Gnome on that, but this Eee is under the thrall of KDE.

Any reason why Pan can't be accessed from that?

TAAAW, it's listed as a newsreader. Does it do mail a) at all? b) well?

Any outstandingly important reason why it is recommended that I should correct any errors on 'my PC' before downloading?

Oh, and a totally wild and OT shot in the dark - anyone on the list interested in target shooting?
