Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Forté Agent
for once a piece of software that, back in the day, even I have heard of (not that that's a criterion for retention). I think it's relevant to the history of Usenet, so was surprised there was no mention there. That said, it has been a challenge to find evidence to show that  has been met. There are recommendations of Forte Agent as a good alternative to Outlook Express on https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?start=10&q=%22Forte+agent%22&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5 Google Scholar, suggesting this old software probably meets the guideline's description of ''"software with significant historical or technical importance (e.g. Visicalc) are notable even if they are no longer in widespread use or distribution."'' By contrast, I am unconvinced that the article on its makers, Forté Internet Software, which has been unreferenced for the last 5 years, merits the same benefit of the doubt.
