Re: Does "Mark - Thread as Read" really work??

I'm told I still have 12 Unread out of 42. It didn't worry me much until tonight, when I was reading (I think, another) group, one of the threads that I had "Mark Tread as Read"/"Message Ignore Thread" was showing as 16 unread out of 48, or some such, and all these unread messages were in "twigs" that I hadn't contributed to but the "twig" that I had contributed to *WAS* marked as read. This leads me to ask When I click on "Mark Thread as Read" does SeaMonkey really mark the entire thread as read (as it should) or does it just mark the TWIG as read ... which in many threads would be enough?? I make a lot of use of that, and it works *most* of the time. Occasionally, I will find threads where all the messages have been marked read, but individual threads still show an unread count that's higher than zero. I'm most often aware of this in cases where all the messages in a newsgroup have been marked read, but there's still a few threads that indicate that they have unread messages. For that, I've found that the only work-around is to kill the thread entirely, to keep the messages from continuing to be displayed. I'm guessing that there's a bug somewhere (and probably in code taken from Thunderbird) that it's one of those things that's low enough priority, that even if a BugZilla report gets filed (assuming that there isn't a case already), it will probably never get addressed. For the most part, this is an issue that more annoyance than true problem.

Late last year, I mucked up badly by deleting my main SeaMonkey profile (Yes, what I goose I am!!), so then I had to re-create my profile, including my account for this server, and four groups on news.mozilla.org, and my UseNet server account, with about twenty groups on news.eternal-september.org.
