James,

  If you're running SeaMonkey, launch the Mail & Newsgroups application
(ask if you don't know how to do this). Then, go to File -> New -> Account
and set up a newsgroup account. The Newsgroup server on which these groups
are found is "news.mozilla.org".

  Is this what you're looking for?

I like SeaMonkey's own news reader. Click the account "Mozilla News," 
choose "Manage newsgroup subscriptions," and subscribe to 
mozilla.support.seamonkey. You will be prompted to download all the 
existing "headers," which may be several thousand, and you can choose 
whether to do that, or download some subset while marking everything 
else as read, or just download a certain number (e.g., 500) without 
marking the rest.


 From then on, whenever you return to that folder (newsgroup), SeaMonkey 
will automatically download the new headers (not the whole messages, 
just the headers). You can then sort as I described in my previous 
message, mark messages as read, kill entire threads, etc. If you decide 
to read a particular message, click its subject line and SeaMonkey will 
download the body.


If you want to mark a bunch of messages as read without downloading 
them, close the preview pane and use standard Windows selection 
conventions to select consecutive or nonconsecutive messages, then press 
"m" to toggle read/unread. There are other keyboard shortcuts.


Now it's my turn: I wasn't aware that a digest was available -- how do 
you do that?

If you have a decent news reader (your headers don't show what program 
you're using, and giganews.com says they don't offer 
mozilla.support.seamonkey), nothing is lost -- the whole thread is there 
waiting for you to read. Just show the whole thread. I can't tell you 
how without knowing what program you're using.


In SeaMonkey (and previously in Mozilla), I normally use the settings
View | Sort by | Order received, Ascending, Threaded
View | Messages | All
View | Threads | Threads with unread
but if I set it to
View | Threads | All
it shows all messages, even those marked as read. That can be in the 
thousands, but active threads are at the bottom so they're easy to find.


I did just have a problem:  My credit union would not download my 
banking data for Quicken.  For some reason only the download page 
would not show any options or data, while all the other pages worked 
fine.  I eventually found out that if I disable Adblock Plus for that

page it works fine.

I also had to have Seamonkey opened  as administrator in order for
ABP to install with Vista Home Basis 64 bit OS.  And Seamonkey does 
uninstall things like ABP when I upgrade.


I didn't have any trouble with inforss when I upgraded from Mozilla -- 
all my settings were preserved. So I don't know what "like ABP" means.

If I remember well I had to install back ABP each time I upgraded my SM 
(e.g. from 1.1.14 to 1.1.16). So you'll probably have to when you switch 
to SM2. But your ABP prefs are stored in your profile and hopefully ABP 
will still be able to read them.

Install it NOW!

I've been using it for a long time and it is such a relief when

OK, thanks for the positive review, but that wasn't really my question.

I was trying to get at whether I would be locking myself into a version 
that wouldn't work with SM 2, so I'd have to uninstall and reinstall, or 
whether the transition would be relatively easy.


I tried to search old messages using Tools | Search Messages... for 
posts here with "AdBlock" in the subject line, but I got this error message:


A News (NNTP) error occurred: syntax error or unknown command

I remember seeing some posts from the author, but I can't remember his
