Hello,

Due to an bug during testing nntp functionality, I now have a whole ton of one message that is duplicated 100's of times. Is there an easy way to delete them all without having to delete them individually.

I know the message ID of the first and last message if that helps.

James.

I can easily merge all the duplicates into one thread. Is there a way to delete a thread with all of the messages in the thread?

Ah, that's better. But you have to be in flat view for that to work. I'm normally in tree view and it's not an option.

I like tree view because I can see who has posted replies without having to open up the thread. There aren't that many new threads each day on the forums I watch so this way I can see all the lastest contributions at once.

Deleting the first message in the thread will trash the topic.
