I could never get the sorting the way I wanted it without the settings
affecting my mail also. IIRC, any new replies showed up as separate from the
original, even though I didn't have it set up to break them apart. It's been
a while, but that was part of it, and other minor stuff that I chose not to
deal with. I was also trying to write some message rules and was having a
terrible time trying to find any real support for it. So I just went back to
what I knew. I used to thrive on aggravation and adversity when I was a
working stiff, but I don't need that in retirement :-)

Can Fidolook be used with WLM?

I just use View --> Threads --> Threads with Unread and it's solved. It
doesn't affect mail.

So in which newsgroup to which you shotgunned your same post are you
actually going to read the replies and respond there? Or are you really
going to separate post your reply to all those MULTI-posted newsgroups?
