   I don't know who's right here, but mostly I draw the line over whether   
   I'm doing binary stuff or just reading messages. I'm still using my   
   ancient Agent for messages, but XNews and Newsbin for binaries. All I   
   want from Ubuntu right now is messages; I'll worry about the binaries   
   later.   
      
   I'll try pan.
