Previously, headers of messages in InBox or Newsgroups used to change the
color to Blue(selected by me) or turn grey. It was very helpful to locate
quickly any message I wanted to refer to quickly. Following a crash, when
I re-installed XP with SP2, this functionality has disappeared.
Could anyone advise me how I can get back this functionality?
Thanks.
