There is little point in embedding Pan in evolution. Lots of work would
have to be done to make the gui feel like Evolution. Also there would be
a lot of redundant code as mail and news are very much alike.

A much better idea would be to finish the nntp provider allready present
in camel. It will pobably be less work, and will deffinately integrate
better.
