Hi everyone.
I'm trying out Netscape and have a question about the newsreader. Is there a way to mark a thread to watch where it actually retains the status? I keep marking it to watch (W) but mark items read before I close each session. When I come back, there are new responses but not flagged for me. I've also tried marking the thread as "important".
Well, I feel like a dork - didn't even realize that netscape came with usenet access (been very grateful to vj for giving me an account). that said, i upgraded to 7.2 last week and I can't even get it to 'watch' a thread at all. maybe search netscape for known issues?

Lori - had an aha! moment - are you viewing as threads or viewing as messages. Only when I view as threads do I see the eyeball icon for watched thread.

I'm viewing as threads. I see the eyeball when I mark it but then before I close the program I mark all threads read. When I come back, there will be a new reply to that thread but no eyeball.
THis is what was in Help...don't know if it helps...lol.

Sorry -- I didn't catch the top of this thread. :-)
Netscape fetches news messages from the remote server every time you open a newsgroup. When you mark messages as read, it will no longer fetch them, even if you have it flagged or watched. I can't image why it does this: what's the point of being able to apply marks to messages if the newsreader won't fetch them again later?
