Only delete the .msf file for the deleted newsgroup. It appears that the .msf file for the server contains flags for how to display Thunderbird's thread and message panes for that account.
Also, open file .rc for the SERVER in a plain-text editor (e.g., Notepad, Wordpad, but not Word). If there is an entry for the deleted newsgrup, remove that entry. If Thunderbird is working correctly, however, that entry should have been automatically removed when you deleted the newsgroup. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
