When I wanted to convert from Agent to gnus perhaps twenty months ago, gnus was not able to do offline news reading[1] and too difficult for a gnus newbie to set up for multiple pop3 mailboxes and only partial support for attachments. I then dropped the idea to move mail and news to Emacs, kept Agent for news and found TB! for mail. I've not bothered again to try newer versions of gnus, i like the GUI of TB!

Most advanced text editors and specialist 'search and replace' tools support regular expressions. The two that I have installed here, ie, UltraEdit and NoteTab Pro both support regular expressions. My personal search and replace tool, BK ReplaceEM supports regular expressions. Microplanet Gravity, a popular newsreader also supports RE. I'm sure there are many others. :-) -- A. Curtis Martin..
