Watched Threads 2

How do I know if a thread is being watched?? The left
pain (newsgroups) don't indicate with being red like in OE,
only the thread itself.
Sorry 'bout reposting this but I have posts in several newsgroups
and the purpose of having the groups in the left pane red is to find them
fast.
Maybe I out to subscribe to just one newsgroup and post only to that group!

Click on Tools, then Accounts, then the news server you want to change it
for, then Properties, then if the box next to Include this account does not
have a check
mark, click on the box when checking for new messages, then Apply, and then
OK.

Works but once I open a response the ng is no longer red.

Correct. It's only red for unread watched messages. And it's not terribly
dependable.
