bulb'Raw Text Parts'; can be especially useful when viewing programming language source code - where some symbols in the source code may otherwise be interpreted as bold, italic or underline indicators  
 
 
Group Multipart Messages  
 
When Group Multipart Messages is selected, XanaNews displays messages chronologically, sorted by subject. It detects multipart attachments (attachments that should be built up by combining several messages), and displays these in a tree, with the first message at the root, and subsequent messages for the same attachment as children.  
 
To combine, decode and save a complete attachment when 'Group Multipart Messages' is selected:  
 
·Make sure you have downloaded all the multipart message bodies. If not, select the thread and choose 'Get Thread Message Bodies' from the message tree right-click popup menu.  
 
·Select the first message (the root one).  
 
·Do File/Save Attachment (F2). The messages will be combined and the attachment will be saved.  
 
bulbIf you need to adjust the order of messages before they are combined, use the Combine & Decode Selected Messages option instead.  
 
 
Hide Read Messages (Ctrl+H  
 
Hides messages that you have already read when you select a group. Once the group is selected, read messages still remain until you exit and re-enter the group.  
 
Note that the read messages are not deleted. You can un-hide them by reselecting the option.  
 
 
Show Bookmark Pane (Ctrl+B)  
 
The Bookmark Pane appears between the message tree and the message pane when you select this option, and the Bookmark menu is enabled.  
 
This option is automatically selected when you select 'Search to Bookmark' when searching for messages.  
 
 
Show Subscribed Groups Pane (Ctrl+S)  
 
This options allows you to hide/show the Subscribed Group pane, to give yourself more width when viewing messages.  
 
 
Show Secret Accounts & Newsgroups (T)
