That works if you also choose View | Messages | All. If you choose View
| Messages | Unread instead, you don't get the whole thread.
And, as I've accidentally marked the Group as All Read, there are no
UnRead messages, except for the last few days posts!!
Well, that's fixable, if you want...
Suppose you want to go farther back and mark all messages since oh,
September 20 as unread. I assume some but not all messages since then
are marked as unread.
Begin by choosing
View | Threads | All
and
View | Messages | All
You'll get something like 99,000 messages in the list. Also choose
View | Sort by | ... Unthreaded
(don't bother with the other two sort settings).
Next, click the column heading "Date" to sort by date.
Scroll to the bottom (if newest are last) or top (if newest are first)
and select the last/first message as appropriate.
Scroll to the desired cutoff point (the first Sept. 20 message), and
while holding the Shift key, click on that message to select all
messages since then.
Press the "M" on your keyboard to toggle Read/Unread, and if the result
is Read (not boldface), press it again to make them Unread (boldface).
Now restore your original View settings and you're good to go. You may
have to navigate away from the group and back to get SM to refresh the
display, but that's only two clicks.
