Watch an e-mail or newsgroup conversation

When reading e‑mail or newsgroup messages in Windows Mail, you can keep track of discussions that are of particular interest by watching conversations. When you watch a conversation, the titles of the original message and all its replies appear in color in the message list. In addition, if you choose to display the Watch/Ignore column in the message list, the watch symbol appears next to each message in the conversation you are watching.

1.     Open Windows Mail.

2.     In your Inbox or newsgroup message list, click a message that's part of the conversation you want to watch, click the Message menu, and then click Watch Conversation.

Tip

• You can customize the color of your message titles in the conversations you are watching. To do this, click the Tools menu, click Options, click the Read tab, and then click the color you want to use in the Highlight watched messages box.
