I paid $30 for it (after trying Free Agent for a few months and falling in love with it) and have used it for 10 years. I figure $3/yr is a good price for an excellent newsreader.

Yep. Me too. I've been using for Agent 1.x for years, now Agent 2.x is out, there's a small charge to upgrade. It's peanuts for such a good program.

Forte agent doesn't suck. They even have a free version (oddly enough, called "Free Agent" which also doesn't suck much. I've never been happy with any of Netscape/Mozilla's newsreaders either.

I'm concur with you I have been using Forte Agent since the early nineties.
It's sooo good that I paid another $15 upgrade to version 2.

I tried the upgrade and decided that it didn't warrant the fee at all, at least not for my purposes. I'll wait for the next bug fix/feature addition, like being able to filter for more than just email address or title. I've wanted that for years now. When you plonk someone, you'd like the replies to that idiot plonked as well, knowwhatImean,Vern? Filtering message bodies is the only way to do that, and they still haven't set up for that. Other than that, I love the prog. I've never lost a database and have lost only 3 indices in the multiple-instance daily use I've given it for ten years. It's a helluva program.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird 0.7.1 for several reasons. First of all it provides all of my needs from email to Usenet. Second of all, it's open source and essentially free. Third, its behaviour is almost completely consistent across the platforms I use--Windows, MacOS X and Linux. If you have any interest, check it out at:
I'm using Agent...... right now.
MS has made it harder and harder to do, but I remove OE completely from my machines.
