Expand Threads by Default...?

Post by ACFairbanks »

Howdy,

I run TBird 52.9.1 under Win 10.

I set View | Threads | Expand All Threads, and my messages display as I wish, but only until I close TBird.

Can I set things to display Expanded threads permanently?

Many thanks,

A.C.

Not that I'm aware of. Perhaps a add-on such as Thunderbird Conversations adds a different way to do the same thing. It adds a conversation view.

I just loaded Conversations, and I thank you for the suggestion,

Using that option will persist the expand/collapse state, per folder, across folder changes and restarts. But using only that path; if you collapse all, and then expand each thread, that's not persisted. If it doesn't work, repair the folder and try with all extensions disabled.
