I seem to recall that, somewhere in my SM profile, there is a file for
my UseNet news server, which records which news groups I have subscribed
to on that news server and which messages I have read with-in each of
those news groups.
Could someone provide the name please. My UseNet server is
eternal-september, so I think the name is something like
newsrc-news.eternal-september.org. If so, can I edit the file, or might
it just be easier to delete the group from my UseNet account and then
just re-subscribe??
TIA
You can easily find the path to the file this way:
Edit|Mail & Newsgroups Account
Settings|news.eternal-september.org|Server Settings - and there you will
find under 'Message Storage' the path to the newsrc file. Example:
Linux
/home/<user>/.mozilla/seamonkey/<userprofile>.default/News/newsrc-news.eternal-september.org
Windows
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\<userprofile>.default\News\newsrc-news.eternal-september.org
Click the 'Browse' button and you'll be taken to the file folder. Look
for the newsrc file for the appropriate newsgroup
(newsrc-news.eternal-september.org).
Thanks for this, NoOp. That is basically what I was doing, where I was
going, but I don't get a chance to Edit it, either using Right Click or
Organise.
You can't edit from within SeaMonkey. Copy the path, close SeaMonkey and
go to Windows Explorer, paste in the path and edit the file from there.

Even with-in Windows Explorer, when I highlight the file and either
Right Click (nothing to Open File), Organise (nothing to Open File) or
"Open" (Windows can't open this file: File:
newrc-news.eternal-september.org).
Even if I open Notepad, and select File->Open, I can work my way down to
the News directory and select the news.external-september.org file, but
when I select "Open", the screen says "No items match your search"
The newrc-news.eternal-september.org file is not listed in the "Open"
screen!
No problem, I've resubscribed to the news group and got heaps of
messages to read or to Mark as Read.
Thanks!
