TB: mark a thread in news

Hello,
i'm using Thunderbird since 2 days now. I LOVE it !

Before i was using Outlook Express as my news client.
Now with Thunderbird, is there a way to flag/mark/identify a complete
thread for easy visual lookup?

In OE, there was this thing called "watch". Using this, in a simple
click i was able to mark an entire thread to be watched.

What was really nice with it is if a new message arrive and this message
is part of a watched thread, then the name of the newsgroup change color
to red to tell you that new activity on a watched thread append.

Is there something similar in TB ?

Thanks.

 

I don't know that there is exactly this functionality, but there are
several ways to highlight a thread. Click on the thread, then click
Message>>Watch Thread. Then click View>>Threads>>Watched Threads with
unread. You will then only see watched threads that have unread messages.

Unfortunately, in my testing of this, there does not seem to be any
alert that a new message has come in to a watched thread.

You can also label messages or threads in various ways, or flag them.

If you are only looking to highlight the thread, you can right-click the
thread and use the "label" feature. Selecting "important" will
highlight it red.

 

Oh Yes.
Thanks.
That exactly what i'm looking for...
