You're probably right. For years, I used Agent, a powerful and
elegant email client-cum-newsreader,
but a while back they got out of the newsreader biz. Too bad. It was
so easy to plonk undesirables.
Sigh!

I'm using agent to read you. I'm pretty sure it's still out there.

Yes, Forte Agent is now in v6. Forte FreeAgent was "retired" after
v4. After a cursory look, I could not find a working download site for
any version of FreeAgent but surely there are a few around.
