Need: View -> Messages -> Watched Thread (WITHOUT Unread)

When i want to see my watched threads, i prefer to see ALL my watched threads
(not just the unread ones). This is very useful for reviewing threads that are
relevant to me and where i might need to "encourage" a response or where i need
to find alternate solutions because no-one is responding to a perticulat thread
in that newsgroup. It is also useful for reviewing *all* topics I have posted
on, to jar my memory on things i may have forgotten.

Please either change to: View -> *Messages -> Watched Thread (WITHOUT Unread)*
or add the *(WITHOUT Unread)* as an item to the menu. :)

*View -> Messages -> Watched Thread (WITHOUT Unread)*
OOPS, actually, the menu should just read:

*View -> Messages -> Watched Threads*
Marking NEW.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW

This appears to be a dupe of bug 80261.
*** Bug 80261 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
esther, hope you don't mind :)
The menu could look like this:

SUB-MENU (View - Messages):
+-----------------------------+
| All                         |
| Unread                      |
| Threads with unread         |
| Watched Threads             |<-----This one !!!
| Watched Threads with Unread |
+-----------------------------+
changing summary to (hopefully) be more clear:

OLD: [RFE] View -> Messages -> Watched Thread (WITHOUT Unread)
NEW: [RFE] View -> Messages -> Watched Threads (ALL - not just the unread ones)
Keywords: mozilla0.9.5
Summary: [RFE] View -> Messages -> Watched Thread (WITHOUT Unread) → [RFE] View -> Messages -> Watched Threads (ALL - not just the unread ones)

Is anything being done on this seemingly simple modification?  This simple
change would help things tremendously when reviewing old newsgroup threads that
may not necessarily have new messages.
renominating for 1.3

Removing "helpwanted" because it didn't help for over a year now. :(

Yeah, it is so lame that this is missing.  
Is there a workaround (via a prefs file edit,...)?  
Maybe it's one of those bugs that doesn't need a real code change to fix.

Also,

*guess I should open a bug for this, unless there's one already, or unless
there's agreeement to add it to this bug.
Why can't we get this bug fixed for 1.4?  Seems like such a minor thing.  We 
already have even MORE functionality in that the existing menu option shows 
Watched with UNREAD... is it too much to ask to have one that just shows 
WATCHED???

You're part of 'we'.  I think this doesn't need a real code change to fix, as I
said.  Give it a try.  No whining.  PS There's a lot of upheaval due to the new
roadmap.

This bug still applies to Seamonkey (and to Thunderbird). Please re-confirm it (and change to "MailNews Core").
Is there any component in MailNews Core that's actually appropriate to this?

It is sufficient to leave this in seamonkey. bug 294901 is already there for thunderbird/core. reversing the dependency
