I noticed that SeaMonkey (SM) v2.0.12 purges old newsgroup
threads/posts
before I go read the specific newsgroup. Is there a way to have it do
AFTER I read the newsgroup like in v2.0.14 and earlier?
Basically I was downloading tons of headers in an unread newgroup with
last eight/8 days to keep. I went to read this group, and it was empty
because SM purged the newsgroup threads because they were older than
8/eight days. :(

Ant, where you mention SM 2.0.12 above, I expect you really mean SM
2.12!!
DOH! Yes, v2.12. Sorry. Dang versions confusing me! Ugh. :(
I seem to recall that when you set up a NG account, you specify a time
(several days to several weeks) after which messages will expire and be
automatically marked as read.
What I think you are experiencing is that you are downloading all the
headers from the newsgroup server and, as all the messages in the group
are old, they are being marked as read.
I cannot find where this time limit is set, maybe someone else will drop
by with that info!!
Isn't this the same one as shown in each news server (right click ->
Settings -> Synchronization & Storage)?
Ant, both you and Ed Mullen have directed me to the same place....even
if by different methods, and I believe this *is* *not* the setting I am
referring to, as I read the settings on that screen to apply *only* if I
wanted to download the news group posts that I want so I could read them
whilst off-line (which I did do when I was using dial-up a connection),
whereas you are talking about things happening whilst you are still
on-line, aren't you??
Don't know where that setting is!! Just sitting here, I'm thinking the
setting I'm talking about is tied up with the File->Get New Messages and
File->Get next xxx messages settings!
How does your settings screen compare to this?
