Too long ago for me. I am using self compiled nightlies for many years and SM1, well, after deleting older builds my archive now begins with a SM1.5a from 060201. ;) >One thing that seems to be contradicting your assessment though, is >that I have one news server group set up whereby when it is accessed, >it will prompt me for a password. However, when I have that newsgroup >collapsed, the password is never prompted, so presumably this implies >that news server is never accessed / checked. This would seem >contradictory to your assessment that the news server is checked even >if the news server group was collapsed. So I am not sure about this >point. That behavior is true for newsservers when 'Check for ...' under Server Settings is not checked. I have to to so for some newsservers because otherwise the collapsed state is nor respected. *grrr* >I did not view the messages in the links to other German newsgroups >you mentioned earlier, because I had presumed they might be in German >language. So it is. I'm writing much in the german newsgroups of mozilla. But in news.mozilla.org, well, that's hard work for me. >But if it is English I would be interested to check it out. There is a translator in google. :-P >I agree that it is a useless waste of bandwidth and also more >importantly, a completely avoidable problem with regards to CPU load >and application thread load. With regard of not respecting the collapsed state it is a waste, but on the other other hand there is now a very nice feature which may be related to the load. While reading a NG new postings now appear automatically. No need, to trigger that. Very nice. :) Oh, i am using View->Threads->Threads with Unread.
