It is a very popular newsreader. I have it. The group for Agent is
not (news.software.readers), that is for Xnews and others less
popular than Agent. The big Agent group is
(alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent). But the idea is a good
one, you should always refer to the appropriate group when asking
about your newsreader, they know all about it. They can explain
what you should do in Agent to re-download the thread. I probably
would just delete the group, resubscribe to the group, and then
get the headers again.

You are welcome.
I just used Google to search for "PeoplesChoice" and then instead of
searching the web, I picked "groups" from the pulldown list (more) and
then sorted by date.

Google groups has an archive which has an advanced search function which
is not as strong as it once was, but still very useful.

If you go to the GG search front door
http://groups.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q=

.... there is a link to the Advanced search in the upper right - Advanced
Groups Search http://groups.google.com/advanced_search?hl=en&q=&hl=en&
Google Groups Advanced Search

.... which has a number of fields which can be populated where you can
input your From address in the author section and this group in the
group section and get this result http://peek.snipr.com/zz5lw

That isn't exactly the specificity used for the result above, but there
are more than one ways to use GG search and its advanced features.

They discuss Xnews as well as 40tude Dialog, Xananews, MesNews,
SuperGravity, or WHATEVER newsreader. It is not for a specific
newsreader. That's NOT the title of that newsgroup. However, assuming
it is active, a newsgroup specifically for your particular newsreader
would probably yield better results.

Considering Forte Inc is a commercial busines that relies on sales of
its payware version of Forte Agent, it seems awfully chinzy that they
don't provide their own support forum.

Everything you want to know about Forte Agent.

I make it one big pane simply by closing the others, then maximize
it on my 26 inch monitor.

Forte Agent is a good newsreader with a big following.
