Yes, adding `read next new article' would take ... hmm, three lines of C code.
I don't know how Pan will ever recover. :)

Yep, two or three times a year people like you show up -- people who
think Wine's too slow, want nothing more than Forte to port to Linux,
and think bitching will make me want to spend my late hours writing
a feature-by-feature clone of Agent.  Agent's good, but slrn is *much*
better, and KNode, XNews, Gravity, and Dialog are all worth stealing
from too.  So, no, Pan will *never* be the Agent clone you want.
If you can't deal with that then go get a faster PC, a newer version
of Wine, and buzz off.

That said, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=114342 holds the
indented user names request, and I'm undecided whether to put it in
0.14.1 or punt it.  Polite users are encouraged to add comments in bugzilla.
