This window will contain the conferences available on the current system. A cycle gadget at the top of window that will let you show all conferences or only those with unread messages in. The status of this gadget is saved by the section Visual configuration window. If you are reading messages in ALL mode , this gadget will be in its ALL state and cannot be changed. See section Show Unread/All/Search result.
Starting from Thor 2.6, the conferences will be grouped into logical folders depending on what type of conference it is.
The current conference will be highlighted with a "bar" in the window.
To the right of the conference names are several flags which will signal what type of conference this is. These flags are not set unless you use BlueWave format or have collected the conference list. See section Getting a list of conferences/newsgrops.
The flags have the following meaning:
+ - Unread messages to you present in this conference * - Member of this conference C - Conference is compulsory M - Conference is a mail conference U - Userinfo R - Read-Only conference F - Fileinfo P - Private allowed
The number of messages unread in each conference will be shown before the conferences name when in Unread mode, and the total number of messages will be shown when in All mode. See section Show Unread/All/Search result, for more info.
When you are reading in Search mode, the number of messages will remain constant on the number of messages found in the last message search in this conference.
On newsgroups or Fido net areas, you will see a checkbox to the left of the group name. The box will be checked if you are subscribing to this group, otherwise it will be unchecked. You can easily resubscribe to the group by checking this mark, and likewise unsubscribe by unchecking.
In the upper right corner of the window is a dropdown menu that can be used to organize the conferences. The following choices are available:
Create Folder
Delete Folder
Move To Folder
Delete Conference
