Retention in my NNTP client is 90 days. Posts older than 30 days are
dark gray colored. Posts older than 60 days are light gray colored.
That is, the older the post, the more faded it looks. Posts over 90
days are purged, but purging is not automatic, so it is when I purge.

For the posts that I still have in my client that show "...winston" (all
ASCII7) and in the newsgroups that I visit are (in reverse order):

I didn't bother to eliminate duplicates across newsgroups due to
cross-posting. Granularity of sorting is by date, not by time of the
day (for same-day posts).

Seamonkey was used for each of the above MIDs.

If I instead search for "...w¡ñ§±¤ñ", all of those were also posted
using Seamonkey, except the Thunderbird example you provided, and one
using WLM (showing X-Newsreader instead of User-Agent).
