I do a fair bit of reading of posts on UseNet which are often
cross-posted, but the cross-posts are not getting marked as read.
I know this did function, long ago, in Netscape Navigator, got broken
(was that in Mozilla Suite??) and still doesn't work in SeaMonkey
and, I
guess, in Thunderbird.
So I'm cross-posting this to three groups on the news.mozilla.org
server
so I can have a bit of a look ... and play!!
The way I figure, there must be information in the message headers
which
is common to all the cross-posts but different to any other posts in
any
of the mentioned groups.
If you're not interested, please killfile this thread in the three news
groups.
This is bug #43278, reported 18 years ago. The problem is in the
MailNews Core component, whiich means it affects both SeaMonkey and
Thunderbird. This worked in Netscape Communicator 4, which means that
this could be fixed.
See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43278>.
From that page:
- Importance: major
- Status: NEW
- Reported: 18 years ago (as you said)
- Modified: a year ago
An opinion: it is just silly to only write a sentence about when
things were written, instead of saying the actual date. A year ago may
be a year and 11 months ago - in other words, a year ago may be in
2016! 18 years ago may be in the first half of 1999!
An opinion: learn how things work.
If you hover your mouse over "18 years ago" you see a tooltip (you know
what those are, right) with the date 2000-06-21 01:03 PDT.
The same for "a year ago" 2017-03-17 06:51 PDT
The last comment was made "2 years ago" 2016-12-24 11:24 PST.
Walt, the bug mentioned (43278) mentions the Xref line in the message
header. It seems that line is common to all the cross-posted messages,
with (maybe, hopefully) the number following each news group name
represents the actually message number with-in the group.
So, maybe, it might be as simply (Ha!! Ha!!) as making that number in
the appropriate groups line of the news.mozilla.com.rc file to indicate
that the message has been read .... and job done!!
