Seeing how's you like to experiment with this stuff, you might want to
look into Xnews. You can customize it to your hearts content.


I have tried Xnews and found it to be incredibly slow, but a pretty
decent program otherwise.

By the way, I updated to 3.0 and so far, I'm impressed with what
they've done, although I don't like the folders feature at this point.
Every single newsgroup I've visited in the past two years is there and
you just can't delete them all - you have to do it one at a time.


You should be able to go to the "All Folders" desk, select whatever
you want to delete, right click, and choose delete folder....

You won't be able to delete "system folders," but everything else is
fair game.




Gene, I still cannot figure out the attaction you fans have for Agent. I
understand it can be customized, but so can other programs, and the fact
that it STILL can handle only one email account means it never is going
to see wide acceptance.

Harry, perhaps he uses Agent as a newsreader, and another program for multiple
email accounts (MS Outlook, for example). Agent is a great newsreader. Outlook
does just fine as an email program.

Agent is already widely accepted.

If you don't like it, don't use it.

Gene, thanks for the info.
