Thank you.
That's what I get for trying to fix what wasn't broken.

Has Free Agent been updated to work with Windoze Vista (I actually had
to go look up the name of the new OS! Go figure...)?
If not, Microplanet Gravity is better freeware than Free Agent, IMVHO.
Enlighten me. Why?
Pros
Filters. They are more customizable and easier to work with than
Agent's filters, IMVHO. I just find Gravity more user-friendly than I
find Agent... plus, and I know this is superficial, to me, Gravity
*looks* better than Agent. It's just more of an attractive piece of
software, but then again, that's not what software is for... to look
pretty, I mean.
Freeware. The folks that designed Gravity discontinued tech support
for the software some number of years ago. Thus, they did one more
release, and made the software freeware. When I bought Gravity (about
8-10 years ago now, I think), it was a $30 piece of software, IIRC,
and I was willing to pay that at the time, because I wanted filters (I
had also not heard about Agent at that time, otherwise I may have gone
with Agent instead, merely because it's got the e-mail client as
well). Free Agent does NOT do filters, or e-mail, either, I think
(see below).
Easily configurable. You can set up filters, sigs, how you view your
panes (much like Agent, I'll concede), Binaries are easy to decode
(esp. pics) and launch.
- Cons?
Gravity does not do e-mail, and Agent does do e-mail. Yes, Gravity
will do a "posted and e-mailed" operation, but Gravity will NOT
retrieve e-mail - and Agent will. Agent will also not send e-mail
unless you are replying to a post at the same time. Agent is like
Outlook Express in some ways. It's a newsreader and an e-mail client,
but with more functionality than OE (or Gravity, WRT e-mail, for that
matter).

http://lightning.prohosting.com/~tbates/gravity/index.html is Tom
Bates' page for Gravity, now that Microplanet no longer exists. He
and some former Microplanet employees have been working on
improvements to Gravity (I have NO idea what "Super Gravity" is, FTR,
nor do I really care), and you can download Gravity at his website.
HTH. It's been a little while since I've used Gravity, but if you
have any other questions, I'll try and help as best I can.
