Not sure if it is releated but...
I was happily running a copy of Agent 3.3 until the last month when I
found the filters were starting to have issues. They were not working
and upon inspection I found the Days Remaining was going to zero when
using the default 30 days. Some experimenting and I found that I could
enter a lesser value. But each day that value deceased.
I aquired a copy of Agent 8 and it has the same problem. As of right
now, I can't get it to accept any number of days.
Looking around, I found this in a conversation regarding Version 4:
"Filter expiration dates in that version were stored as 13-bit counts
of days from Jan 1 1995. That format will overflow June 6 2017, which
would account for problems creating 365-day filters after June 5
2016."

Seems version 8 has the same problem. I've emailed tech support but am
not holding much hope to a resolution.
Can anyone recommend another news reader?
