Vista - Strange Bug?

Strange Bug?


I find that when I view a message at the start of a thread in its own window
(not the preview pane) I see the field names: From, Date, Newsgroup, etc in
bold.

But when I look at any other message in the thread, they no longer appear in
bold, and the Organisation field never appears.

I doubt this happens by design, as I don't see the point of it. It's just
another example of how badly made this program is.

Hi ss, I can confirm that the Organization field does not show in child
messages, for me too, at first I thought it was because not many users will
have an entry in that field of the account set up?
The bolding /does/ show and then fades on child messages, but you have to be
quick to spot it :-)

This is not a show stopper, so I doubt that you will see it addressed at
this stage.

The WM PM is monitoring the group, so you never know?

Ha! Yes it is!

You just uncovered another one. As well as Organisation not appearing on
any child post, View All Headers doesn't appear on any original post.

And there's the bold issue on top of this.

Hi mac

They are? I should maybe make a post of my annoyances then, in hope they
might take them into account. What's PM stand for anyway?
