All that jabber and I did not see where anyone could tell me the
meaning of
those icons. Are all of them defined someplace or are we just supposed to
ignore their meaning ? I think not otherwise why would they bother to put
them up !
I am talking about the area where the unexpanded posts and expanded post
trees are shown and only the icons that are in the column just to the left
of the "Subject" column. That's the column that has an icon in the
header,
under which there are only icons.
Here is a link to a screen capture of my SeaMonkey. Two message icons are
circled. The top one indicates a message that has been downloaded before
the previous time of viewing this group. Obviously most of the icons
displayed look like this. The bottom circled icon is on a message that
was recently downloaded and so is "new". Once I leave the group and
return, this icon will turn into the other one.
Notice there is no difference in the icons for read vs. unread messages.
The bold type indicates unread messages.

I have an icon with a green bottom arrow when the post is not readed.
When readed this icon dissappear - but reappear without the green arrow when
i force the "not read" status.
That's an explanation after testing .. You can do the same and then write it
to your documentation text file.
If your message icon disappears when a message is read, then your system
operates differently than mine. I see three icons on message subjects.
When a post is "new" the icon includes the green arrow. When it is no
longer new the arrow dissapears and the "balloon" is either light grey, or
darker grey. Usually the balloon is light grey, but in some groups they
are mostly dark grey. I had not noticed the difference in darkness until
just now. It appears this is related to the "downloaded" status, but only
in some groups. There are a few posters in some groups where their posts
are marked as "read" by filters without being downloaded. Their posts are
light grey as are unread posts. Posts that have been downloaded when read
have a dark grey icon. In other groups all icons are light grey and do not
change when read or downloaded.
I have also seen one icon which appeared to have a key or something
similar over top of the the balloon icon. But that group had a number of
"expired" posts (some as recent as a few weeks ago) and when I "repaired"
the folder all but a handful were removed, including the post with this
odd icon.
Yes, I would say an icon glossary is in order. I am not at all sure what
most of these message icons mean. At this point I'm not even sure
SeaMonkey is working correctly on my computer.
Perhaps you have installed a "Theme and skin" ... Mine is the default that
come with my first installation of SM.
