Thanks to all who have provided suggestions and information. I
wanted to be able to keep particular threads like this one alive
inside the newsgroup on my system, but it looks like I am unable to
do so, so what I have done is created a local folder called
"Newsgroup Messages" and am saving these messages there..

Thanks again..

I have two folders in Thunderbird: Saved Mail and Saved News. When I find
something of interest I click the little paper clip icon to the left of the
thread and drag the whole thing to Saved News. I have sub-folders there for
Mozilla, Windows, Security, etc. Easy and uncomplicated and it will be there as
long as my profile walks the earth.
