I used to like Pan, but they're buggering it around, over simplifying it. Previously, it used to have a useful, even if convoluted to use (especially since you couldn't set defaults) filtering feature. It used it to only show the last few days of messages in the list, so I didn't have to weed through masses of chaff. It's only a display filter, though, so I could undo it and find older messages, when I needed to. That's gone now, so on some news groups you have to wade through thousands of messages.
