as someone here recently turned me onto free Usenet from
EternalSeptember, I'm following several groups again.
When a post is cross-posted to two groups, and I follow both, is there a
setting I can tweak so that reading the post in one group marks it as
read in both groups?

This is long-standing bug #43278, first submitted over 12 years ago.
See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43278>. Since this
worked quite well with Netscape 4.7, I really do not know why it has not
yet been fixed.
Yes, this lack of adequate crossspost management has been an issue for
ages and is the main reason why I've never given up on Agent as my
newsreader. There are things about SeaMonkey and T-bird that I really
like, including some things that Agent can't be made to do, but this
crosspost business is a killer. Every once in a while, I'll switch to SM
or TB for a week or two until I once again get just too frustrated at
this, and then I go back to Agent again for newsgroups.
As I understand it, development of Thunderbird by Mozilla staff has,
effectively, come to an end (only roughly yearly updates) and SeaMonkey
is developed, basically, by a group of volunteers (who, presumably, have
real day jobs to bring in the hard-earneds), I'm guessing there will be
little development in e-mail-reader-type bugs!!
