Actually, my reply was based on using Thunderbird. However, SeaMonkey uses the same MailNews Core that Thunderbird uses. I do see an icon for each newsgroup. It resembles a file folder upside-down (fold at the top, open at the bottom) with a note attached with a pushpin. I never see this icon change for new messages. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com> Consider: * Most state mandate that drivers have liability insurance. * Employers are mandated to have worker's compensation insurance. * If you live in a flood zone, flood insurance is mandatory. * If your home has a mortgage, fire insurance is mandatory. Why then is mandatory health insurance so bad?? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
