Abandon Google. Use a real newsreader - such as Outlook Express.

Well, it is just as "real" as anything that uses port 119 instead of port
- Nothing highly esteemed about that. It's just real.

ROTFLMAO! ... not because I don't use OE myself, but because of the utmost respect and high esteem with which it is held in certain circles.
... of course I'm kidding. ;)

If you mean the Mac or Linux circles, I agree.
Then there are those afflicted with MDS (Microsoft Derangement Syndrome) who oppose anything done by Micros~1.
I don't know of anyone who complains over the newsreader features of OE (but of course I don't travel with crazy people).
Micros~1 itself holds OE in such esteem that it is included as the default newsreader in the up-scale MS Office series, including the latest, MS Office Enterprise 2007.
OE is free (as is Forte, but whether one should use something with a vaguely French-sounding name is another matter). The point is, Google is a web-based newsreader and all such have their own share of problems not found in software dedicated to the project.

I believe that it is necessary to purchase a license for some version of MS Windows to get OE.

I read from Outlook Express and your original post and some responses are still visible.

According to a post on another group, Forte has abandoned Free Agent apparently. It is no longer listed on their website. I personally run Agent 1.93 for text groups (upgraded since version 0.99c) and 4.2 for binaries. These are pay versions and worth the money. My original version was upgraded free from 1994 through 2004.
One free newsreader is Xnews. Price is right and is yEnc capable. No personal experience with it, but a lot of folks in some of the other groups seem to like it.
My $0.02
