Brian - I have the spamcop /account/ set to d/l only unread (under
offline&diskspace).  So the view setting makes no diff - that just
dawned on me.  Problem is there are 3 or 4 places to set parameters and
they're all intertwined.  As I think I stated earlier, I've learned long
ago to live with this since up to now, I've had no real need to search
old posts -sounds like I may have to learn.
Thanks for the input...
