where is the ignore thread data list stored
presumably, the Ignore Thread option under the Message dropdown (Mac main menu) will keep SM from downloading any more posts with the same subject. At least that's how I think it works...seems to work like that. (nothing in Help on ignore) This is quite useful when a crossposted spam/flame war starts in a newsgroup you like to read. But, if the subject title itself was rather mild, from a wording standpoint, then a legit (new) thread with the same subject title may /someday/ start and you would never see it. so where is the kill-file/ignore-thread list stored?, and can you edit it? or just delete it?

where is the ignore thread data list stored
Ignore Thread option under the Message dropdown (Mac main menu) will keep SM from downloading any more posts with the same subject. And all traces of that thread have disappeared the next time you load the same newsgroup This is quite useful when a crossposted spam/flame war starts in a newsgroup you like to read. But what if I ignore a thread accidentally...and don't realize it until days later, when using a different machine. (hey, this thread is missing on my other machine!) Where is the list of ignored threads? How do I get the ignored thread back?

Where is the list of ignored threads? How do I get the ignored thread back? It is stored in a hidden area of the message list itself. In Thunderbird (I assume Seamonkey is similar) if you go to View Threads ... and turn on Ignored Threads, you can see the ignored threads and undo the ignores. To undo the ignore, select the message and use Ignore Thread again. -- Kind regards Ralph ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

You're assuming that a thread is defined by the subject line. But that's not how SeaMonkey (and other good programs) thread messages. See RFC822: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822 The In-Reply-To: and References: fields are used when creating a reply to a message. They hold the message identifier of the original message and the message identifiers of other messages (for example, in the case of a reply to a message which was itself a reply). The In-Reply-To: field may be used to identify the message (or messages) to which the new message is a reply, while the References: field may be used to identify a thread of conversation. When creating a reply to a message, the In-Reply-To: and References: fields of the resultant message are constructed as follows: The In-Reply-To: field will contain the contents of the Message-ID: field of the message to which this one is a reply (the parent message). If there is more than one parent message, then the In-Reply-To: field will contain the contents of all of the parents' Message-ID: fields. If there is no Message-ID: field in any of the parent messages, then the new message will have no In-Reply-To: field. [Page 24] For more, follow the link; the explanation doesn't end there.
