I never said I read every single post, and I don't. For a variety of
reasons, I don't see subjects. I click on a thread based on any one
word in the subject and expect to see the rest of the topic explained
in the body. I choose a thread because it's as short or as long as
I'm interested in at the moment. I read posts consecutively, until I
get bored. I read posts consecutively at the bottom, where no one has
answered.



oh, and btw, you're using Agent 1.93. Which *always* shows the
subject line in the box separator above the text of the thread you
opened. So, either you're blind or don't know how to configure a
simple newsreader like Agent.

It's there. But it's black with a grey backgound. I don't see it. I
stopped seeing it long ago.

This doesn't mean I couldn't see it if I tried. I ignore it like I
ignore the ads on webpages. The full scope of the question should be
in the text box. Hallerb didn't answer your question, did he? That's
because you didn't include the details of your question in the text.

then this isn't a "global" problem. This is a problem with *your*
newsreader.

No it's not. That's the way it works. That's the way all of them
work from version 3 back to version .99 . I don't know remember if
version 4 is the same.

Fix the problem instead of making everyone else work
around you.

"Everyone else"! You're the unusual one who doesn't include the full
question in the text. There is a small number like you but less than
5%. Read the original posts here and you'll see what I mean.
