What client are you guys using to write on here? What service?

 Agent for text because its the best for that. My service is
Newsleecher and they have their own client for binaries.

I've been considering purchasing Agent.  With the issues with TB I had last week (it re-downloaded a bunch of messages, which now when I click on it says don't exist)
I'm considering agent again.  Can you actually find things in it (TB is horrible with search.  I was trying to find the thread with weird west in it, but if I just put in weird for subject or body it doesn't find any) and will it retain messages?
I'd buy it, but wanted to make sure before I do.
I've been looking at the newsreaders listed on alt.computers.software.newsreaders.  There's people saying a couple are good I've never heard of.  However now I can't see them as Thunderbird says there's no messages in the newsgroup :(
I think one was Microplanet Gravity, and another Xananews.
I know I had tried xnews but had some issues with it.  It might have been no/couldn't get spellcheck working (my ability to spell seems to be deteriorating, not that it was ever a skill I was great at.) Does agent have that?
