Usenet is, like using sentences as a user name, a reliable indicator
of colossal jerkitude of the right-wingnut variety.

I remember being annoyed that my newsreader spent time trying to get
their email engine working rather than adapting their software i'd
been using in 3.1 to work under Win95. I don't remember if I paid for
the Win 3.1 version or after the conversion, but I was already an
established user of the software i'm still using when Win 95 first
appeared.

Hamster is a nice piece of kit that merges the feeds from a number of
servers and feeds the result to your news or mail program as a single
server. I used it for years until Agent got the same functionality
around version 3.x. I think Opus uses it too.

IIRC we both do that so that we can have a message view of watched &
unread--this being as close as we can get in Agent to "show unread replies
to my messages".
This does not, however, conflict with 'ignore subthread'--when used within
such a thread it replaces the watch symbol with the ignore symbol throughout
the relevant subthread... (remove the 'ignore' and the 'watch' reappears).

Every now and then I find I have to mark a few hundred (or a thousand or
two) posts as "read" because there are just too many new posts and I'll
never find time to read them all. But I don't want to miss replies to my own
posts.
I don't know why Forte didn't provide the option to "watch" subthreads when
they did the same to "ignore"... wish they had.

Unfortunately the way things are in this group these days that isn't a
problem.

I agree. It would have to come with a way of specifying, perhaps by
group, which would have priority in case of conflict.

tea and others the usual thread drift has taken it out bounds. Then of
course there are the times when I'm so hopelessly behind I'd rather
chuck it all than man up and wade through it.
