I was considering that, but I found out Agent will eventually quit
working for posts on Jan 19, 2038 and later.  Yes it's 13 years away.  I
don't really want that to sneak up on my though.

 That will affect a lot of other software; it is not unique to Agent.
The Y2038 bug's Wikipedia page does not even mention Agent.

 I would recommend you check any other newsreader you are considering,
whether it too will quit working on Jan 19, 2038.

Ooh:(
After looking into that, I'm guessing both 40tude and Microplanet Gravity are affected due to their last updates being 14+ years ago, but I don't see any way to be sure either way.
I wonder if Usenet servers will be affected considering their age? I assume at least pay ones would want to fix the problems.  Not sure about the free ones.
