I just sent 7 posts by mistake, from the Draft mailbox. Never
happened in 20 years with the other version of Agent, which didn't even have a draft mailbox, but this version is a problem. I don't know if they were worthwhile posts or not. Either they weren't done or I hadn't decided to send them, but they still might be interesting. I don't remember. They're all stamped 3:32AM EST. |

Micky, it's called PP, Premature Postification and it can happen to any guy and it's nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes you simply get too excited and can't hold it back. Don't feel alone, I've had it happen too. ¯\_—‰€¿—‰_/¯ [8~{} Uncle PP Monster |

SHAME ON YOU lol I have tried newer versions of Agent and never liked them. Too much unneeded junk (bloat) and they changed the whole menu which really confuses me. I just use this old version (2.0) and it works fine. |

You may need to know what follows when you get later than XP. Normally, I'm either running XP or Win98. I dont use (or want) anything newer than XP. I was happy using v1.93 and XP, until one day, starting the computer or maybe unhibernating, everything was fouled up. Trying again and again made it worse each time**. A friend had upgraded his business and given me one of three Vista Office computers that had become surplus, so I moved to it (temporarily). At that point, I connected the XP drive as an external, non-system drive and found files missing, including most Windows files. I still don't know how this happened, but this time I had 3 backups (instead of the usual none.) No evidence of a virus in any backup, though it occurs to me now that I should do another scan before trying to use an entire backup to go back to XP. But my Agent files and my Eudora files and all my data files were still there, in the orginal and all the backups. Copied over all of 1.93 to Vista and everything was fine for 3 weeks. Then all of a sudden, it didn't work. Not the copy I was using or any of the other copies! I was forced to go to version 6, which I had paid for years earlier, but like you, didn't like. (I used it for the Firefox ng only.) What do you expect, its VISTA. (Piece of crap). Agent 1.93 and 2.0 are real similar. I dont know what differences there are, except 1.93 was free. I paid for 2.0 years ago. If I want to use it on another computer, I just copy the whole folder, and it's then registered, and all my subscribed groups and filters are intact. I have tried the demo versions of Agent 4.x (maybe 3.x if there was one), and either 5.x or 6.x. All of them changed the menu. After using this one for close to 20 years, I just find it too hard to change. I get ****ed because I keep hitting the wrong menu items. I'm happy with 2.0 and if it works, dont fix it.... Of all the operating systems, I still like Win98 the best too. I'm using it right now. But there are no longer any web browsers that work properly for 98, so I have to use XP for any serious web browsing, or at least Win2000, but that too has limited browsers. I pretty much only have 2000 installed (on my 98 machine) so I can use my 500GB or 1TB USB drives to do backups. 98 wont run them. |

I think you'll face the same problem in 7, 8, or 10, and like it or not, I think we'll both have to upgrade from XP some day. Do you compact it? I do that daily and it always works. I tend to save a lot of old messages too, so it can get slow if I dont compact it. Agent 1.93 and 2.0 are real similar. I dont know what differences there are, except 1.93 was free. There was Free Agent and Agent. I paid for my copy so it had more features. I paid for 2.0 years ago.

I'd be lost without 98. It always works flawlessly and never crashes. XP tends to do strange things at times, like it will freeze up for awhile and it gets slower after a few years. Plus it takes a long time to get rid of all the crap in XP, after I reinstall it. If I was to upgrade to anything, it would be Win7. Anything above that has no interest to me. I'd like to try 7, before I actually use it, which is not a big deal, since I have a spare computer that I use for storage, but I'd just change the hard drive to test out 7, and I have spare drives, even if they are a bit small. By the way, it's usually the newer versions of Firefox that causes XP to act weird. |
