How do I go back and read very old threads in Thunderbird? I know I can
use the Web interface, but I prefer the news reader. Thanks.

You could un-subscribe then when you re-subscribe you will be asked if
you want to download all the headers. Do it one group at a time or
overnight.

Have you checked your Account Settings for POV-Ray in Thunderbird? Go to
'View settings for this account' and under POV-Ray go to
'Synchronisation & Storage'. Check how you have set what has to be done
with old messages (to recover disc space). Possibly you have put a limit
there. Set to 'Don't delete any messages'. However, I think that you
need to follow Stephen's advice too nonetheless.

Thanks!
Now I just need to figure out how to get TB to turn URLs that are longer
than one line into proper links.

Share your secret...
One of my fantasies is to get the newsgroups to emit an url for a
message that is less than 200 chars long.

Yeah, that is an annoyance. I have to manually copy and paste those
types of URLs.

Another weird thing about TB is most times, my new posts don't wrap. I
wondered if other people saw them like that. I assumed no. But when I
reply like this, it is wrapping while I type.
And *another* weird thing, often the povray newsgroup links work even if
the last 3-4 characters wrap. I always do the tinyurl thing to help my
fellow povers avoid the wrapping nonsense. (which is annoying because it
anonymizes the url. I'm really sending you to pornhub.)

The anatomy of a link to a message in the web interface is as follows:
http://news.povray.org/<GROUP>/message/<ID>/#<ID>
where <GROUP> is the name of the newsgroup, and <ID> is the message ID
(always starting with `%3C` and ending with `%3E`, which represent the
characters `<` and `>`, respectively).
Note that the last portion of the URL is a /fragment/ (recognizable by
the leading `#`), i.e. a specific location within the referenced page,
instructing the browser to scroll down on that page accordingly.
If only the fragment portion is garbled, the web page will still load
fine; the browser will just not scroll down to the fragment because it
can't find it. (As a matter of fact, in practice that's even the
behaviour when the fragment `#<ID>` is present and intact: The
single-message pages do not have any fragments at all.)
This also means that you can strip the fragment portion from the URL
entirely to make it shorter.

The '<' and '>' are superfluous IMO, but it's probably not worth the
trouble of removing them.
Who is the webmaster, by the way?
