You may have just missed it. View | Sort By | Watch/Ignore will bring all
the watched messages to the top of the list. See if you find it this way.

In View | Current View - Make su Show all messages and Group messages by

In a number of newsgroups I use the 'watched messages' function where the
thread is highlighted red and in bold when a new message arrives. Recently
one of my ms newsgroups is red bold even though there are no new messages
in
any of the watched threads.

Any ideas?

Thanks
