VIEWS question - modifying threading and colors

[Guest]

4 questions:

1. The newsreader no longer seems to thread messages in news groups. It
groups but does not thread. Is there a way to do that?

2. I hate the groups color band. It is hard to read and look at. Any way to
change that color, size, transparency...

3. Is there a way to globally change views as a default but where you can
modify them in individual views? I prefer preview pane always on the
bottom, I prefer to have no preview page for a spam catching IMAP folder,
and I prefer normally not to have things grouped by sent or any other way.

4. However, it would be nice to be able to thread regular mail messages. Is
it possible?

I'd also like to be able to collapse group threads or grouped messages.
Doesn't seem to be able to do that except one thread at a time.

:-(

Don't think Entourage's news capabilities can do what you are expecting? See
this: Newsreader follow up <http://www.basilweb.net/macoffice/news.html>
This also has a link to a pretty complete list of Mac OS X newsreaders
available.
