Ok, good to hear.

I'm not sure yet, but I think I'll be wanting a little bit more than
the current Agent, I'd like to have the entire mailbox with me and be
able to synchronize it against the server when I go online -- right
now, the Agent selects what to download in a (to me anyway)
non-obvious way and I can't synchronize it to a server once articles
have been downloaded.

Gnus CVS for now.  I'm not going to alter existing functionality so I
hope this wont be a problem.
