I use knode since ever and I've just tried pan (check the post header) in

is far from perfect and very buggy, pan is a pain in the ass to work with.
It is extremely thin on options, can't be reasonably tweaked and some
stuff works so poorly (the "post article" text edit box and the 80 column
limit enforcement) that the idea of migrating from knode simply isn't
reasonable.

Isn't there some other alternative?

claws-mail
xpn
slrn
tin
gnus

And there are others I don't like enough to recommend.

Choice is good, isn't it?
