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.
