Folks:

How can I change my navigation such that I can read ALL the messages in
a folder, via space bar or PgDn, instead of continually being asked if I
want to go to the next unread message in folder xyz?

And when I return to the folder list, is there a way to return to the
current message, or have it otherwise indicated? It seems I always have
to start over in the message list.


I'm using XPSP2, Thunderbird 2.0.0.14

TIA

Lance

Look at the Go > Previous and Go > Next to know what shortcut key TB
uses to navigate in your version .

Also set value of this pref according to your requirement .

mailnews.nav_crosses_folders

I believe Tb , by default , remembers last selected message if this pref
mailnews.remember_selected_message is set to True .
Also if this pref mailnews.scroll_to_new_message is set to True then it
will get higher priority than previous one .

I replied to this message, and as I've not seen it here, I checked the
headers. On the original message, there is not a "reply-to". Shouldn't
there be? Am I missing a setting somewhere? I think this just started
happening recently, as I sometimes get group messages directly addressed
to me, instead of the group.

An attempt at clarification:

I am reading this group as e-mail in Thunderbird, individual message
mode, TB 2.0.0.14, Windows XP SP2.

I also get the Firefox support group messages the same way. FF messages
have Reply-To in the headers. TB messages don't.

Is that by design, or have I missed a setting somewhere?

May be you have accidentally mailed it to me instead of posting in
mailing list .

Is it 'Reply-To' or 'In-Reply-To' header ?
'Reply-To' headers appears in your message only if you you have
specified any Reply-To address in the settings of account , you are
using to post messages .

'In-Reply-To' header automatically included in headers when you reply to
any message .

May be it just because of some mailing lists settings . You should
contact with mailing list owner about this problem at this address

Thanks for the suggestion, Nir. It was indeed a change in the mailing
lists settings. A PITA, I think but that's the way it is!
