This is fair enough; the encode/decode overhead is a necessary evil.
But not everyone is or can be running a server (I can't, no static
IP), and I've seen (small) companies that are so concerned with
security they won't even run a private FTP server.

I've never seen TB thread newsgroups, yet :) Perhaps it's not the
threading algorithm as such that I prefer in Agent, more how Agent
displays and handles threads. In Agent, I nearly always keep messages
threaded (sort by date is the ony other option I use), but for some
reason I cannot get used to how TB displays threads, moving around the
columns and all, so I always end up sorting by received date and, when
following a thread like this one, always have to move up :)

Thanks a lot, I will!
