well, I think the problem is just at work.  Anyways, I decided to go 
with a news client:  Mozilla Thunderbird.  Pretty good so far, at least 
for reading.  This is my first post.  wish me luck! :)

I'm also using Thunderbird.  I used to use OE, then Netscape, then OE, 
then slrn, but I've decided to go modern and graphical (while still 
staying cross-platform). :P

The only issue I have with it is that it seems to like to automatically 
open up a random new message (I literally can't see any rhyme or reason 
to how it selects what to display, either) when I click on a group. 
Anyone know how to disable that annoying feature?

I came to the conclusion that Thunderbird was displaying either the last 
message viewed if no new message arrived since the last view, either the 
oldest of the new messages received since the last view. Which may or 
may not be related to unread status of the messages. I agree it's not 
completely intuitive :-)

I have no idea of how this could be tuned...

That's the odd part, because it seems as though it literally opens a 
random message every time for me.  I could see if it opened the newest 
or oldest unread message, but there were times when it picked one right 
from the middle of the list.  It truly boggles the mind. :)

I've skimmed through about:config but haven't really seen anything that 
appeared to be related to it.

Maybe there's an extension that allows you to control that behavior; I 
haven't looked yet.
