You still have to remember to actually click it rather than reply though.
Don't say it!
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)...
Seems just the job...
Or R to mark a thread as read (to mark a single message is M).
No problem with that to date anyway.
Keyboard shortcuts are listed at: http://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard+shortcuts
Shall print it out ASAP.
Ctrl-Shift-L is a handy one to know, too - it's "Reply to List".
If I remebered - when I do, I just press 'A', and the ALUG address is at the top of the list of As.
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.
Hum. That sounds useful innit.
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.
Will have a look at Mutt. Does it do news too?
Nope... well, technically it can with just the right config done for it and a lot of magic... but for command line news goodness, slrn has reasonably similar keybindings and fwicr, when I was using it, is actually quite reasonable.
And playing nicely with Leetkey. (Which is probably the Leetkey developers' pigeon)
What's Leetkey?
It's an add-on for programs like Thunderbird, Firefox/Iceweasel etc which has a multiplicity of functions: Text encryptors, toggle editors, text transformers. I use it largely for ROT 13 in a Shed environment.
Thanks for pointers. Consider me pointed.
Ahhh, that makes sense.
