No thank you! with the transfer you've managed to squash that article
numbering bug that left an unread article count even after all articles had
been read in the groups, finally it tells the truth. None of the problem you
mention with thunderbird are experienced in OE 5.5SP2... was nice to watch
the unread count drop to zero just by selecting the newsgroup on the
in-active newsgroups for a change:-)
