That's a claim, isn't it? That the Forte Agent newsreader is not standards-compliant and is one of the worst newsreaders ever made?
That it's one of the worst ever made is an opinion, and that it doesn't follow standards is supported by your claim that it puts messages with new subjects as new threads.
Any sensible news reader will sort messages by subject and if there is a change of subject it will place that message and it's follow-ups in a new group all together. As far as the reader is concerned it is a new thread.
Well, Agent does that. Do you really know so little about Agent that you didn't know that?Tony CooperSandman
You brag that you always supply substantiation for your claims. Please supply substantiation for this claim.

"In most newsgroups, the majority of the articles are responses to some other article. The set of articles which can be traced to one single non-reply article is called a thread. Most modern newsreaders display the articles arranged into threads and subthreads."
I've noted you to make adverse comment about Agent several months ago. It's beginning to sound more like bias than an informed judgement. --
