In newsgroups, is there a way to display only messages that are marked
unread?

Put another way, when I use another newsreader, it's possible to conduct
these operations in this fashion:

1. Go into a news group.
2. read messages. Over time, messages are marked as read as I look at them
3. Exit the newsgroup
4. Go back into the newsgroup.
5. The only messages that are shown are the ones that are now unread.

thanks

There are three kinds of people -- those that can count and those that
can't.

thx John
I appreciate that

Does anyone know if cross-posted messages that are marked read in one group
will automatically appear as marked read in the cross-posted group?

thanks

Or "View --> Messages --> Unread" if you don't use a threaded
view.

cross-posted in these (moz-support) groups will, generally, get you
blasted.... unless of course, they have a very good reason to be crossed...
