Ah. Well that is significant. I had thought it was (perhaps it used to
be). Given that, it perhaps makes slightly more sense that it has been
moved to Extras. But I still think that Core should have one, graphical,
full-featured newsreader. (If either Evolution or Thunderbird massively
improved their newsreading capabilities I'd be happy to not use Pan
anymore -- there are many things about it I don't like, and it makes
sense to read email and news from the same application. Unfortunately
both of them feel like email applications with a bit of NNTP support
thrown in as an afterthought to me.)

Best, Darren
