The Group Messages By Conversion (View, Current View) is a per folder
option. You need to enable that in the local folder.

HOWEVER, the option works differently in local folders than in news
folders. In News, the grouping is based on the References headers in
the messages. In the Local folders, it is based on the Subject. So of
the messages in the news thread have different subjects (the doesn't
count), they will not group together. And if you have multiple threads
with the same subject they will group together.

Another option is to select all the messages of the thread that you are
interested in, then Message, Combine and Decode. You will get a single
message with the contents of the messages. You can then select File,
Copy to Folder to copy that combined message to the local folder. The
down side of this is that you lose the headers from the individual
messages. And if the messages contain attachments, you may not get them
all.

I want to save some useful news from newsgroup to local folder, I have
create
a local folder, then right click the useful news thread and copy to
the local
folder, but I find that all msg in the thread is spread out, not
grouped with
something like '+' in newsgroup, any method to copy the msg and the
msg
structure together(which msg reply which msg)?
