Some threads go on for days/months and others I have no interest in. How
can I stop them from loading everytime I read a newsgroup.?? TIA
Mark the thread Ignored. That will mark any subsequent messages
to the thread being marked ignored also and will prevent their bodies
from being downloaded.
If you wish you could also create a new view (e.g. based on the
standard alternate view Hide Read and Ignored...) which just
hides Ignored messages.
You don't want to delete the thread; otherwise all information about
not wanting to be involved with it will be lost, so you would keep
seeing new messages as they arrive. In contrast with the thread
ignored and hidden, new messages would arrive but immediately
be marked Ignored and optionally hidden.
