953427 - Default view of newsgroups, or at least an OPTION, should be to open newsgroups with threads ALL COLLAPSED.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[Geoff Wood]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Open any newsgroup tab. My preference is for 'Threaded' view is selected, but newsgroups always seems to open with threads expanded. 


Actual results:

Threads are all fully expanded, so in a busy group all one may see are posts from the first thread, and even less busy groups have a mess of expanded threads.This , to me, seems the least useful scenario.


Expected results:

Ideally when initially opening a newsgroup (per session) the view should be with thread collapsed, or that should at least be a selectable View option. 

If manually expanded, then that view should be retained for the session only, on that tab only.

So suggest that Options for threaded view or be Collapsed or Expanded should be added, IMO 'Collapsed' being the default.
