aplomb:
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?

The article has a good history section.
