Agent is another one.

But personally I think choosing a program because it does two different
things is a mistake. It's best to choose the program for each thing
that works the best for you. If the two happen to be the same program,
that's fine, but in my experience, that almost never happens.

I used to use Agent as my newsreader, but I preferred and used a
different program for e-mail. I recently switched to using Thunderbird
for newsgroups, because it did some things important to me me better
than Agent (but other things not so well). But I still continue to use
the separate e-mail client I used before.

I feel the same way about suites of programs. I often choose to use one
program in a suite because I like it, but I use competitors for other
programs in that suite because I like them better.
