I still use that technology to handle all mailing lists and newsgroups, 
since I havent't found anything even close to the same functionality in 
the "modern" software.

Outlook (Express) has a feature to delete messages older than a certain 
date from the *server*, but that is not the same as Fido's offline 
feature, which deals with local message bases.
