The unread or watched threads in the news need to be more visible, perhaps with a different color. In Outlook, there's a filter so that a participation to a thread marks it as watched and when a reponse appears, the group and the thread is in a different color. It's really useful when you need a hand in an urgent work. Especially when there's a lot of threads in the group.
And it would be great to have /filters/ in order to mark threads. A /score/ file like in Xnews, for example :->)

What do you mean by popular vote ? ;-) How many votes for it ? Only 3 ? Is this a popular and important vote ? ;-))))) By the way, having a score like in XNews should make Messenger the /killer/ newsreader :-)

In fact, it's the only reason for me to use OE. Mozilla is THE browser now and need a real mail & news module to be THE communication suite. It's really important to filter posts by subject or keyword when you spend time on newsgroups.
This bug seems to be about marking watched and unread threads. Newsgroup killfiles and scoring are separate issues entirely.
This bug really seems to be ultimately based on having filters implemented for newsgroups...bug 17483
My idea creating this bug was a little larger than implementing filters only. With my actuel reader (OE), I can *automatically* mark (label) a thread as watched if I participate or ignore one posted by someone in my kill-file. Mozilla is able to do that for Mail (filters & kill) but not for News. Or did I miss something ?

Uh, I can't remember that I've done such a thing ?! If I did, it wasn't my intention. Sorry.
You did at 2002-03-16 04:06:06, according to <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_activity.cgi?id=131164>. It's okay, just be more careful in the future :-)
This is a dupe of bug 127692.
Nope. Bug 127692 is about the folder pane; this bug is about the threads themselves.
Depends on: killfile
Should this bug get fixed for 1.0.1 ? Or 1.0.2 ? It would be a great thing, and give to this *censored* MS Outlook Express a big kick in its ass :-)
I want this kind of capability at thread in Mail, if it has a message flagged or marked. Currently, thread which have unread message is displayed with underline. This is nice. One suggestion for thread which have flagged message is to show another bitmap (ex. small flag) in flag column.
See also Bug 122908
Is any work being done on this at the moment? It sure would be nice to have this kind of ease of use in the next milestone.
It is in trunk builds. See bug 17483 for more info.
bug 127692 is about making the thread pane behave like the folder pane. i don't see anything special about this bug, there isn't a spec, there aren't even proposals. i'm killing it. if you object to my killing then please start a thread in a newsgroup (npm.mail-news?) where people can discuss what this bug means. when there's a clear explanation of what this bug wants and an explanation about how it is distinct from bug 127692 then someone is welcome to reopen it. there's certainly no work being done on this bug at the moment. fwiw i'm considering doing work on filtering in general, but first i'm triaging the component. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 127692 ***

I presume you've actually read the message I posted half a month ago in compliance with your request?
For those who disagreed with timeless' duping, the problem originally addressed by this bug has resurfaced as bug 164081. Move your votes, but don't expect it to be fixed (see my comment there).
