Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 43278

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

Couldn't find a news component, please move it to the right spot.

If an article is crossposted to multiple newsgroups and read in one it isn't
marked as read in others. 

The xref header has enough information to follow the crosspost.  Example:

Xref: core-easynews easynews.announce:704 easynews.support:61024

This means it is article #704 in easynews.announce and #61024 in easynews.support.

If I read it in .announce it is still unread in .support -- it shouldn't be.
