I'm sorry. I was not tracking the bug report. Apparently, it was already implemented in Thunderbird. Hooray! I don't know about this in SeaMonkey. I don't use SeaMonkey's mail/news capabilities because I don't want to lose my current newsgroup session when I switch browser profiles, which I do often.
