I despise html in emails but 80% of what I receive is is in html so I would prefer a way to read the bloody things straight away. Properly Nested folders (is that really soooo hard?)Ībility to render html. Now here's what I think is missing from Agent for years.Ībility to find the right newsgroup quicklyĭouble byte language support for both reading and WRITING, especially Unicode and Japanese Shift-JIS. "Help Tips" : To help you find your way around the dogs breakfast that is the new desks view. If you had properly nested folders, you wouldn't need bookmarks to help you find things. "Sending and Receiving Messages" : New outbox and sent folders, just like every other email program in existence. "Menu and Toolbar Changes" : prettier icons. "The Newsgroup Directory" : The one we had already was good enough. "Folder and Message Organization" : Complicates things rather than simplifies things by insisting on duplicating folders rather than moving them. "Task Management" : And that helps me how? "Multiple News Servers and Multiple Connections to News Servers" : One's enough for what I need thanks. In fact overall, it might have even gone back some percentage points. What a load of bollocks!Īs a user of Usenet primarily for tech support, language study and a bit of socializing, Agent 3.0 has improved by pretty much 0%.

OK, I admit I use Agent primarily as an email client with it's secondary use as a Usenet clients but come on. I like a couple of the new additions, but I might revert back to last Agent version for now.

I've found that groups I could find before under a partial word search now require me to type in the full name! This is progess?Īlso, in the Newsgroup Directory, there's no way to get rid of previous group searches! What a stupid oversight! You have to manually edit a damned. Now it's become you have to go through another step - which wouldn't be sooo bad except that you apparently can't do partial searches anymore. Before, with All Groups, you just searched has to do the one seach under the All Groups menu. For security reasons, people will not always want to do this - which means that each time you gotta go searching for them again. So if you need a good newsreader that also includes a small email client and a simple organizer, Forté Agent is available.WHERE'S MY 'ALL GROUPS' LIST?!! That's the number one thing I've discovered so far that REALLY irks me! Now Agent uses the 'Newsgroup Directory' under the Tools menu and you have to search for groups every freakin' time, if you don't save them. In terms of security, all the connections can be encrypted by means of SSL.

One of the functions of Forté Agent is to read lists and news from Usenet, so it implements several technologies that download the headings and review the servers much quicker. In what regards to viewing the mail, Forté Agent hides repeated text in the replies, something that makes it a lot easier to follow conversations and keep your space well organized. The interface is somewhat rudimentary, but it offers all the possibilities that this kind of program may need, in other words, complete email management, possibility to include various email accounts, creation of email lists. Forté Agent is a rather good newsreader that also integrates an email manager and a small organizer, because, even though the news servers are no longer used very much, it always comes in handy to have a good client in case you want to check one of the few servers that still work.
