really? I disagree. You're going to have to upgrade all those people who's newsrc files are out of date - that seems like a pain to me.
I will mark this beta1 keyword so this can be decided at PDT as per david's comments. Would the upgrading involve lots of work?
Keywords: beta1
doing the work to use the newsrc file has got to be less work than upgrading plus doing the work to use the newsrc file - upgrading is throwaway code.
right, this needs to be done by beta 1.
Gotta have it; gotta have it; repeat after me... pdt+.

Yes. I saw the newsrc files got migrated into ~/.mozilla/<profile>/News/newsrc-<hostname> and there is ui to point to newsrc file on the account manager....but still need to wait for good build to verify this bug since there was a crash bug of the password dialog for today's commercial build....
Used 2000-02-16-08-M14 WinNT/Linux & Mac mozilla/commercial builds: Verified seamonkey stores the read/unread status of news articles in the newsrc file for the following OS/Platforms: Linux6.0: ~/.mozilla/<profile>/News/newsrc-<hostname> WinNT4.0: c:\User50\<profile>\News\<hostname> Mac9.0: MacHD|Documents|Mozilla|User50|<profile>|News|<hostname> Cool!
