Hello,
I observe that recently the status of the messages of this newsgroup
doesn't persist after exiting the program.
After reading a message its status goes to read, but when I exit and
restart the program it shows as unread again.
I have tried to repair the folder, but the problem persists.
AndrésH, somewhere in the back of my mind, I seem to remember there is a
file associated with each news server account that you have.
For this server, that file would be news.mozilla.org.rc or something
like that. With-in that file, there is a line for each news group that
is subscribed to on that server. each group has one (maybe very long)
line of data which records the message number of those messages that you
have read. If a message number is not listed that means you haven't read
that message (or vice versa!!).
If that file has, somehow, been set to 'Read Only', that file cannot be
updated when you close SeaMonkey down each night!
So it could be worthwhile doing a search for that file,
news.mozilla.org.rc, and right click on it to see if its properties have
been set to 'Read Only'!!
