I'm using SeaMonkey 2.49.4 under Debian
Although I've never used any Apple product, an out of state friend is
asking for help with a new iPad.
I suspect pointing him to a suitable USENET is appropriate.
I've downloaded and extracted an archive of comp.mobile.ipad .
How do I access it with SeaMonkey to take advantage of mail search
and threading threading tools. I date back to Netscape days but don't
think I've ever done this.
Advice please.
TIA
Richard, I'm not exactly sure why you have downloaded the archive ....
but anyway ....

<chuckle> People have wondering about the way I "think" for >70 years.
Your follow-up post describing offline access to USENET was close enough
to rattle my cage appropriately. First good night's sleep in days
followed by cup of caffeinated coffee also helped ;}
More seriously, the key to all was in my subject line - though I hadn't
recognized it.
A better statement of my problem would have been:
Given a standards compliant mbox file, how can it be accessed
with SeaMonkey?
ANSWER:
Copy it [w/o file extension] to the preferred Mail sub-directory.
[e.g. /home/richard/.mozilla/seamonkey/9bzizhmz.slt/Mail/rowlett ]
SeaMonkey does the rest.
Thank you for your time. It helped me solve my own problem.
Glad you got there, Richard. ;-)
