Re: (OT) Thunderbird

* Shawk:

Finally got round to loading it back up - I quite like the new version but have rediscovered the thing I really hated about it last time and am hoping someone can advise. I read a number of groups and crossposts have to be read repeatedly. OE for all it's faults marks a thread read in all groups once I've read it in one. Is there a way of getting TB to do this?

I'd be also interested in this, besides a bunch of other flaws that worked fine with OE but don't with Thunderbird.

Sadly I'm informed in the alt.fan.mozilla group that this is not yet possible but there was talk of including it in TB 2

Not possible? Hell, even OE4 already did that, and that is around 9 years old. I really doubt that it's not possible, it's probably more that they simply won't change it in TB 1.x any more...

Like messages sorted as threaded by reference, or alphabetical newsgroup listing, or to be able to use more than just one keyword in the newsgroup subscribe search window, or a search function that just jumps to the next message that fits instead of hiding all messages that don't fit etc. Or why the hell is "answer to newsgroup" not the first item in the context menu when right-clicking on a newsgroup posting but has to be third (after "open in new window" and "reply to sender")?

Though I've used TB before I'm afraid I never delved into it's workings. I'm still relatively new to it and to the above I have to say 'no idea'.

I have used OE for several years since OE4, and I usually attend or at least follow overall to around 90 newsgroups. If you do a lot of UseNet then the things I listed will really annoy you.

Maybe I should ask in alt.fan.mozilla if these things will be changed...
