It's a missing feature in Thunderbird (and some other mail readers that call themselves 'modern'), IMO important enough to be called a bug. Luckily it seems to be worked on (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45715 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233417). Meanwhile I work around the issue by subscribing to mailing lists indirectly via gmane. I like the interface offered by newsgroups better anyway for this kind of stuff. -- If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants. -- Isaac Newton Roel Schroeven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
