Don't do it. If your present version works for you, save your oney
orr spend it on reliabe software.

I've used Agent for 15 years, always the newest version at the time. and
Agent has been very reliable for binary and text newsgroups. I do find
it hard to imagine why anyone would use it for email, though. If a
newsgroup reader is what anyone wants, Agent is a good choice, but do
not use it for posting binary files as there are better tools that are
free for that purpose.

Here's the thing, though, I've used Agent since it became a
commercial product--version 1.something. That goes back to win31,
wfwg and dialup. I purchased Agen8 to replace v1.92, running under
Win xp, when I acquired a more competent computer and "upgraded" to
Windows 10. Both have been disappoinments: Windows, because the
interface has been dumbed down, presumably for semi-literate persons
while Agent has, IMO, become needlessly complex to configure and to
use and is demonstrably unreliabe in day-to-day use. For example:
Entire messages simply disappear into nothingness or are replaced by
gibberrish and the fine Fortefolks have been aware of this behavior
for at least four years. I'm back to v.1.9 on the xp dog because it
still works; it's just old and slow, thats all. Plus it doesn't ring
that annoying bell....

1.93 works fine on Win10, if that would be easier for you. I needed
to "upgrade" to 10 because none of the browsers that supported the
old OSes also supported the new security protocols.

I've used it since version 1.1 (e.g. more than 15 years) and concur
with everything you've said both pro and con.

No accounting for taste. I pretty much use Agent mostly for email, as
well as for text usenet Let's you preview in plain text and hasn
excellent massage management tools. For usenet binaries , I have
found better tools that Agent.
