This is bug #43278, reported 18 years ago.  The problem is in the
MailNews Core component, whiich means it affects both SeaMonkey and
Thunderbird.  This worked in Netscape Communicator 4, which means that
this could be fixed.

See .



 From that page:

- Importance: major
- Status: NEW
- Reported: 18 years ago (as you said)
- Modified: a year ago

An opinion: it is just silly to only write a sentence about when 
things were written, instead of saying the actual date. A year ago may 
be a year and 11 months ago - in other words, a year ago may be in 
2016! 18 years ago may be in the first half of 1999!





An opinion: learn how things work.

If you hover your mouse over "18 years ago" you see a tooltip (you know 
what those are, right) with the date 2000-06-21 01:03 PDT.


The same for "a year ago" 2017-03-17 06:51 PDT

Walt, the bug mentioned (43278) mentions the Xref line in the message 
header. It seems that line is common to all the cross-posted messages, 
with (maybe, hopefully) the number following each news group name 
represents the actually message number with-in the group.


So, maybe, it might be as simply (Ha!! Ha!!) as making that number in 
the appropriate groups line of the news.mozilla.com.rc file to indicate 
that the message has been read  and job done!!

First you say you do, and then you don't.
And then you say you will, but then won't.
You're undecided now, so what're you goin' to do?

does not understand "commitment", whether it is about
policy or marriage.

Testing Marking Cross-posts as read in SeaMonkey

I do a fair bit of reading of posts on UseNet which are often 
cross-posted, but the cross-posts are not getting marked as read.


I know this did function, long ago, in Netscape Navigator, got broken 
(was that in Mozilla Suite??) and still doesn't work in SeaMonkey and, I 
guess, in Thunderbird.


So I'm cross-posting this to three groups on the news.mozilla.org server
