Here's what I sent them via email last week: Hi All, I just purchased Unison for my Mac this week and so far it meets all my needs for reading newsgroups except for one thing: The ability to Flag or Watch threads. Since Unison seems to be closely modeled on Apple Mail, where there is a Flagging feature, I'm surprised this was left out of Unison. I frequently want to identify threads for later attention. Having a Flag or Star in the message list would greatly help in this. I know I could make a rule, but I don't want a long of list of rules and it takes too much time to exit the message list, open the Rules, copy & paste the subject, ect. Maybe if there were a context menu to automatically make a rule that might be workaround, but to have a simple command to Flag the thread (or article) would be best. So as Mr. Peterson said in Office Space: "Yeah...If you could do that, that would be nice"

Sometimes it takes a few days. I am not alone, undoubtedly. -- Thank you and have a nice day.

Yep - they handed me the same line, just before not releasing a single thing for over a year. So again, don't hold your breath. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR

So again, don't hold your breath. Okay. It's now agreed, no one will hold their breath. -- Thank you and have a nice day.
