Options - The Message Tree
Previous  Top  Next

Use the Message Tree options to control the appearance of the message tree and its message headers.

Show Unread Messages  
 
Select a font style with which to display unread message headers. This is applied in addition to the style specified in Colours & Font Settings  
 
 
Show First Line as Subject  
 
When selected, this causes the 'Subject' column to display the first non-quoted, non-blank line as the subject. Otherwise you will see a set of subject lines, all the same, starting with 're:'  
 
 
Hide Folder Icons  
 
Hide the 'Folder' icons that appear next to messages with replies. I have this checked, to save space.  
 
 
Hide Read Messages  
 
Hide messages marked as read. Note that this only happens when you leave and re-enter the group. I like to see entire threads, so I leave this unchecked.  
 
 
 
Don't Highlight Other XanaNews Users  
While it's fun to see other XanaNews users' messages in a different colour, its not to everyone's taste. Turn the feature off here, rather than in Colours & Fonts  
 
 
Use Highlight Colour for Selected Text  
 
Controls the colour used to display selected items in the message tree, and also in the subscribed groups tree. Usually highlighted items look like this.  
             NormalSelectedText  
Select this option to make the look like this:  
            ColorSelectedText  
 
 
Tree Column  
 
Select the column in which the tree is displayed. I display the tree in the 'Flags' column.  
 
 
 
Hide Columns  
 
Select any columns you want to hide. Hiding column saves space. I usually hide the 'Number' column.
