Bah! Forgot about Thunderbird's habit of ignoring lists...
Ahh see TB3 actually brings the Reply to list button out when the correct list headers are present in a mail (which they are in alug main) You still have to remember to actually click it rather than reply though.
Hmmm. As a certain political party used to say: #'Things can only get better..."
Is there any way of collapsing (NG) threads from the end? When you've forty or fifty items it's a chore to scroll up again.
Not that I can see, not even in the new version, However the thread preview when you click on a threads parent is so good you don't need to expand threads as often.
In most of the newsgroups I take, I can soon recognise the threads I want to follow. In the Shed, for instance, there are presently some rather long ones, wriggling with sub-threads. The difficulty is not identifying them, but scrolling up and down.
A 'Next Unread' button would be a nice touch.
Erm, so, N (as in the keyboard button) wouldn't be of any use, then? (Goes to the next Unread Message)...
Or R to mark a thread as read (to mark a single message is M).
Keyboard shortcuts are listed at: http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard+shortcuts
Ctrl-Shift-L is a handy one to know, too - it's "Reply to List".
Also, have a play with the left arrow key, in a thread it'll move up a level, if you keep hitting left, it'll eventually close the thread.
The keyboard is still, by far, king of the dealing with e-mail... and that's why I still use mutt for most of my mail, Thunderbird I use at work, as a seperation tool more than anything else.
And playing nicely with Leetkey. (Which is probably the Leetkey developers' pigeon)
What's Leetkey?
