Thunderbird uses Unsubscribe and you can't selectively delete posts because
the messages are actually kept on the server. It seems like that's a
holdover from the 6800 baud days.

Microsoft really needs to add that delete function back in Windows Mail.
They don't have to make Outlook Express like Thunderbird. IMO Outlook
Express is much better and I've used both, although I've only used
Thunderbird in Linux. I wouldn't install it on my Windows OSs. It simply
is not as good as Outlook Express.

Of course, you can't say that on any Linux or Thunderbird newsgroups. You'd
be skinned alive -

Well, you're right - I obviously have that function confused with something
else.

Try adding other news servers - You will be pleasantly surprised!
As to the "Unsubscribe", that is to remove an entire newsgroup or server,
rather than an individual post.
To delete an individual post, either click on the red "X" on the toolbar, or
chose delete from the "edit" drop-down menu.

Hope this helps!
Jerry
