separately, in Summary format, all the old previously read messaged 
have a color change indicating I have read them. If I switch to 
Simple format, they are all marked UN-Read. Which means that any 
post I link to from Simple format, will not show up as Read when I 
switch back to Summary format.

Hi Steve. I can switch back and forth. I like the Simple and use 
that all the time, but I switched to Summary and it works. It is 
true that if you don't stay in the same format you will not get the 
highlighting.  Also one of the things that drives me craze it that 
it use to be that if you followed a link at the bottom of a post, 
when you went back to the main list it would show as read. That 
doesn't happen any more and it is driving me nuts. I can't tell you 
how many times that I have read the same message twice.

And to top it all off I got some sort of pop-up survey from Yahoo. 
(In spite of having a pop-up blocker.) The survey was the type that 
is set up so that your options don't really help you, they only help 
Yahoo prove to itself that things are great. NA not being an option 
so you had to give an answer to things you don't use and know 
nothing about how well they work. Geeech..
