Seeing a thread from non-thread mode
A lot of newsgroups, I read sorted by date mainly. And once in awhile I
see post which I would like to comment on. Although I would like to read the whole thread first to make sure somebody didn't already say what I wanted to add. There are a few ways like sort by subject or Find subject, but is there a better way to see the whole thread? -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) - Windows XP SP2 |

Group Messages by Conversation view I seem to recall that used to work. But nowadays (with a half of dozen of computers) this doesn't do it anymore. As toggling with ALT-V-V-G the post disappears and something else is selected. And finding the thread is different. -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) - Windows XP SP2 |

Use a newsreader which threads articles by the references headers, not by the "Subject:" line. -- ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

View by conversation - you may need to get previous messages to backtrack (if they still exist on the server). Better yet, use "Google Groups" to find the thread and use the tree view panel thingy to read them - then post using the newsreader (OE). |

You should also _check_ Automatically expand grouped messages (in Options, Read tab) -- Alt-T,O,Ctrl-Tab,x --- |
