Anyone know how to collapse the thread on newsgroups when using Thunderbird
like Outlook express instead of having one long continuous line of news
messages?

Thanks

Or, if you are in a hurry just hit the \ key.

When you only want to view the unread messages, this doesn't work. Is
there a way to sort only the unread messages in threads instead of this
long continuous line of new articles when one only wants to view the
unread messages?

Thanks,

Not that I know of. Threads with Unread will show entire threads, read
messages in the threaded along with their unread responses. The only
way to view just unread messages is to select Unread, and, as you point
out, the threading is lost.


I hope someone proves me wrong and comes up with a way to see just
unread messages, with threading retained, but I don't think its possible.

Its not logical but it seems to work on all versions of Tbird I've used
up to and including v1.0. Set Messages to All, Threads to Unread and
Sort By to Threaded.

Just goes to show, I should experiment before I answer. I tried this
quite a while back, and it didn't work. Works now, thanks!!
