Try the match only unread articles, but then select Show matching articles' threads. As Jim H suggested, that would appear to be what you want. A couple additional comments: 1) Old pan also made a distinction between old but still unread headers, and freshly downloaded headers. Charles decided that was unnecessary complexity for the limited benefit achieved and the number of folks who really used that feature, so it's not available in the new pan thereby reducing bloat by that bit more. Perhaps it's just because while I new the distinction and used the bit of extra data it provided, I didn't really /use/ the feature, but I tend to agree with Charles -- the distinction between old but unread and new... isn't really needed and isn't really missed. IMO, it's nice to have, but not a good tradeoff given the cost of the increased code complexity. So anyway, you don't get the distinction between old unread and new messages that old-pan had, but neither Charles nor myself believe that's a big issue. Read/unread is good enough. 2) New-pan doesn't yet track and remember all that stuff per-group like old-pan did. You may find that you need to reset your choice when restarting pan, and will find that the same choice is now globally applied. Per group state retention looks to be one of the big features lined up to return for 1.1, as a lot of folks' favorite sub-features are wrapped up in it! With 1.0 stable targeted for around August, and a couple 1.0.x stable updates likely after that, we're probably looking at Sept/Oct for per-group state retention, my guess. What sub-features will come with it and which ones will wait for later, I couldn't guess at this point. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
