Hello there!

I'm setting up slrn on my Raspberry Pi 2, and would like to be able to
configure it so that I can have a similar default view to what I have
configured in Thunderbird on my desktop PC.  Specifically, I have it
selected so that it shows 'threads with unread posts', meaning that it
shows any new / unread posts, plus any other posts in the threads even
if they've been marked read before.  This give me a better feel for the
context of a given message, that may not always be conveyed by the
quoting inside the particular post.

I realize that is possible to reconstruct individual threads, and thats
what I'm currently doing.

I noticed this blurb in the slrn FAQ:

I want to see full threads as soon as they contain at least one unread
article. Can slrn do this?

Thats pretty much exactly what I want to do... I was wondering if anyone
on the list might have such a macro already worked up and be willing to
share it?

TIA,

Monte
