Yes, this lack of adequate crossspost management has been an issue for ages and is the main reason why I've never given up on Agent as my newsreader. There are things about SeaMonkey and T-bird that I really like, including some things that Agent can't be made to do, but this crosspost business is a killer. Every once in a while, I'll switch to SM or TB for a week or two until I once again get just too frustrated at this, and then I go back to Agent again for newsgroups. -- Jim G.
