Alfred,
Thanx for the detailed info, but you should know that when I ask
an OT and especially "dumb" question here I'm doing so only as a matter
of stirring up old memories and don't expect anyone to waste their
valuable time researching things I can just as easily do myself! <g> If
someone knows the answer off the top of their head, that's a different
story!
Being into model making as I was at the time, the "Thunderbirds"
was my favorite TV show in the sixties. I'd made a hot-knife by cutting
a slot in a piece of copper tubing that slid over a cheap soldering
iron, then in the slot I fixed a sharp, pointed, hobby blade. I spent
all my free time cutting up models I'd built and then trying to design
and put together vehicles that looked like those on the show! <g>
Thanx again!

The characters use the radio sign-off "F.A.B." rather than "Roger" or
"Over
and out". Anderson was often asked what F.A.B. stood for, but in fact it
simply stood for "fab" (short for "fabulous"), a 1960s catchphrase.
Later
this was unofficially decided to mean Fully Advised and Briefed,
following
on from P-W-O-R (Proceeding With Orders Received), a similar radio
confirmation code in the series Stingray. In Anderson's next series,
Captain
Scarlet and the Mysterons, S.I.G. (Spectrum is Green) would continue the
tradition of initialled call signs.
Took me some googling....

Onderwerp: Two questions about Thunderbird
I had taken your suggestions and finally decided upon replacing the
lousy newsgroup app that came with Vista and am now using Thunderbird
instead.
I like it a lot, however I just noticed a problem that I don't
seem able to fix!
With Outlook Express there was a setting allowing you to show
only new unread messages as they came in when ever you opened a
particular group. After 5 seconds, any opened message in that group was
considered "read" and so didn't show up again unless you did a search
for it.
In Thunderbird I cannot seem to find a setting for this and each
morning I keep getting the same messages over and over whether I've read
them or not. Is there a solution to this I haven't come across?
Also, if anyone remembers the old Puppet TV show called
"Thunderbirds" which came out from the same guy in England that
previously did one called, "Fireball XL500", a sci-fi puppet show of the
same type, there was a three-letter acronym code response that all the
characters used as an affirmation...FOB, or FOP...I'm not sure. But I
saw an old re-run of one of the "Thunderbird" episodes while lying
around in the hospital last month, ( You can only play around with the
nurses for so long and then even THEY get boring! <g> ), and ever since
I've been trying to remember what it actually stands for!
This unimportant question will bug me for the rest of my life
unless someone can help me with the answer!
Thanx in advance!
