  • Why do some messages appear in something like Digest format?

    From MB@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 27 11:55:17 2023
    For some time, in some newsgroups, some posts appear in something like
    Digest format?

    They just have the "Archive" and "Delete" tabs at the top.

    I have not found how it was turned on so how it can be turned off.

    Done a search of the Thunderbird help files but can't find anything.

    How can I turn it off?

    click on the "twisty >" to the left of the subject column?

    Or press backslash

    Or click on any bold author name to 'zoom in' to that particular message

    There is no effective way to delete a usenet message. Not all servers
    respect the request, and it comes back to life everywhere at the next
    system sync.
