I reported it, Marcia. I think you'll find using any new reader much easier
than a web-based interface at any time. You can, for one thing, Hide Read
Messages. That means each time you read a message, you no longer need sort
through all those you've seen before.
You can set also rules, with
colors for your own posts or those of other people, keep certain messages in
separate folders you create - automatically - as they come in. Lots of
things!
