I've never had any problems at all with message threading using xpn .... Since I've always used Keep SubThread instead of Watch SubThread, I have no personal experience with the watch flags .... When using keep flags, new messages in a thread do have to be toggled on, so perhaps the the watch flags behave the same .... Such toggles are easily achieved by setting desired keystrokes in the KeyBindings.py file found in the xpn_src dir .... > And there isn't any less spam. Fortunately, the groups I read including this one have a very tolerable spam/content ratio although it does fluctuate from time to time in some groups .... Perhaps some design concepts/components from spambayes which is also open source and python-based could be integrated with xpn to help diminish spam problems .... -- Stanley C.
