When using SeaMonkey for reading newsgroups, I see a number of differences from T-bird. One that is particularly annoying is when reading a thread new posts often show up in the middle with other parts of the thread outside of the thread pane. An easy way to see if any other posts remain unread in this thread is to use the \ key to close the thread. If an underline remains I could then press 'N' to take me to the next unread post in that thread in T-bird. In SeaMonkey it takes me to the first unread post in the GROUP!

Obviously this is a divergence from T-bird. Was this something that was changed in SeaMonkey or in T-bird?

I find any number of differences in usability like this. I think if I could get T-bird to work on my machine I would switch back. But it ran even slower than SeaMonkey does, so SeaMonkey is a net improvement, just not a large one.

For that matter, why did SeaMonkey split off from T-bird? What was the fundamental issue that created a new tool so similar to the old?
