Nevermind ... I found out how to view headers on this version of
Agent, so I'll stick with that. I've been using it for years. I
really regret upgrading, and no longer have the older version.

BTW, the error message that I'm getting with 40tude is "Connection
explicitly denied by NNTP server." I have it set up identically to
Agent. Weird.

Thanks for the help, Victor and Blinky.
