That setting is not normally present at all, from what I can see. I had to find it in about:config. I would also be interested to know if there is any other way of changing that setting. I found that the ability to retrieve read messages in the Search box is still possible. I had to change my VIEW *Messages* to ALL; and VIEW Threads to UNREAD. This way SM only displays unread messages, but readmessages are still accessible through Search when needed. To see these options from the Menu Bar under View... you must select a newsgroup, not the newsgroup server. Does that help? bj I have seen that, but it seemed not to work as well, at least in Thunderbird. The way I am doing it is actually working. Still, I shall add this to my collection of tips.

The following is based on my use of Thunderbird. While viewing a particular newsgroup, go to the menu bar and select [View Threads]. If there is no dot for All, select All. Alternatively, you might want Threads with Unread, which is what I use. This needs to be repeated for each individual newsgroup. -- David E.

Threads with Unread is what I use too, and before when I searched for something it would retrieve and display all subject messages in recent history. I thought maybe there had been some capacity setting in memory that I needed to adjust or something. I see by your response, that I will have to change that setting to all anytime I want to search anything in the past... and then change it back. sigh Thanks, David! bj ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
