I don't know if this is what the OP meant, but I would like to be able
to stop Moz expiring the headers of Watched threads *locally*.
Obviously, as you point out, you can't force the server to not expire them.
For messages that I wish to keep permanently I have created a heirarchy
in Local Folders that matches my news servers/groups and copy them into
these folders. Maybe the OP would find that an acceptable alternative.
OT: Jay, re. your comment in another thread about me posting in the
future, I realize what you mean now; TZ handling in Windows (XP at
least) is broken so I get +0000 in the timestamp when we are currenly
+0100. It'll start working again on 27/10 :-)
