One weird thing about Agent8 is that if I view a post that has an embedded web link, my browser opens that link immediately, even if I don't click on it. I'd ask for support, but there isn't any.

Bad! Never open a link unless you really want to do so. Get rid of Agent! I've heard that sometimes just opening a Web site can infect your computer. Good luck!

Plenty of support on that newsgroup if you ask - prolly someone will know how to switch off any behaviour you dont like! C+

Thunderbird email and newsgroup reader does work very well with Eternal-September (E-S) or paid usenet hosts. Currently the admin of E-S is blocking a wave of spam from Google Groups - which is really appreciated!
