Thanks for the prompt reply.
It's not that I can't tell the number of messages unread/total. The
problem is I can't see it without loading the group. It wastes time for
something that looks like it was partially coded into the UI. (The
little square that toggles the thread, subject, sender, read, and date
also has toggles for unread and total, which really don't make sense in
that window.)
Similarly, for the complete newsgroup name, I can't tell what it is
without moving my mouse over the newsgroup and wait for a moment for the
tool-tip to bring up the full name. But at least there's a pref for
this. :-) Any chance the pref will make it into the Preferences Panel
UI in the near future?
