?? But your MUA should be able to do either, both, and a few other things anyway. (offline searches, filter by subject, person posting, tags, phrase-in-body..) I've got the last 19,000+ Exim posts in SeaMonkey for much easier/more complex searching than online. Another 30-40,000 Exim from prior years, are on-box by just switching profile if I need to search them. No effort. Just a bit of disk space, and not a great deal of that. Speaking here of SeaMonkey/Mozilla Suite and relatives, also true of Opera Mail, PowerMail, Sylpheed/Claws mail.. I'm not aware of any 'modern' MUA that does NOT have at least optional threaded/unread/new/ - whatever.. view choices. You don't need Nabble for any of that.
