Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20111221 Firefox/9.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.6.1
Build ID: 20111221001913

Steps to reproduce:

Opened Sea Monkey using existing profile which has about 30 NewsGroups in it. For most of these the total message count will exceed 100,000, but the unread number should be small ( single digit).


Actual results:

Upon "Getting messages" the Unread message count came back as 28746 whereas the correct answer is 3 unread, and 28743 previously read. The .rc file contains 
grc.techtalk: 1-249671 

for this particular NewsGroup at the time.

The actual message ID is news.grc.com grc.techtalk:249864


Expected results:

Unread message count should have been 3.


This problem does not occur every time, nor always on the same NewsGroup. It is intermittent, sometimes OK for 2-3 days, then several NG within an hour or so. It has been present in 2.5 and 2.6, I did not experience it with 2.4.x
This is MailNews Core bug 695309. It is fixed in Thunderbird 10 (and SeaMonkey 2.7, currently in beta) and later.
