Back to strange stuff that Thunderbird gets up to.

Version 115.4.3 (64bit)

For quite some time I've had an odd glitch where posts don't go from
bold font to un_bold font as I read them[1], and the "Unread Post"
counter in the left had column doesn't decrement.

I've just noticed an even more strange aspect of it.

Whilst reading u.e.sheds, posts would fail to un_bold themselves and
fail to decrement _until_ I read a post from John T (hubops@ccanoemail.com).
His posts all do the right thing - un-bold themselves and decrement the
counter.

This leads me to the vital conclusion that... I haven't the faintest
clue about what is going on!

[1] Settings are to un-bold a post, 1 second after accessing it.

Folder Settings can be set to over-ride the Default Settings

I took a look at the NHG list; the only matches I get for 'shed'
are u.r.s and alt.fan.shedevil

As I'm not into evil ways I haven't subscribed.

Shedding evil seems like a good thing to do.

Only only read a handful of froups on giganews (the shed being one of
them) and I notice the counter only goes down after moving away from an
article, not upon reading the article.

We already have the matches, who has the black candles?

Should have been e.r.sheds - I only did that to see who was awake!

How about a sledding Elvis?

(I'm sure that someone, somewhere, is flogging an Elvis figure riding on
a Santa-type sleigh - there has to be!)

If I was you I'd be careful with those candles! I've got a bell and book

I had noticed this too - but only in Thunderthing mail...

In the above mentioned email I had the opposite problem I realised in
that a couple of sender's posts would go 'normal' when I read them and
the counter would go down. Moving on to the next post these particular
posts would be re-emboldened and the counter would not change (cos
obviously I was reading a new one by then).

I had to right click and 'mark as read' to get things to work.

Quite so - but there again I noticed that one of my posts elsewhere was
recently dated January 1970!!!!
