Let's say you want to color the messages you've read, like he says he's doing:
1 - Message -> Tag -> New Tag... call it 'Read' and choose a color
2 - Tools -> Message Filters.. click 'New' and give the filter a name (eg. color read messages)
3 - select 'Status' - 'is' - 'Read' from the first row of drop down menus ('For incoming messages...')
4 - select 'Tag Message' - 'Read' (under: 'Perform these actions:')

Thanks, but how to enter "sender is in my address book" in the filter?
Edit: ah sorry, just saw that it is now an built-in option for the Thunderbird message filters.
Edit2: even better, just saw that the spam filter now has an option for "don't mark as spam if sender is in address book" :-)

> I have a couple hundred sites in a folder that I open as a series of tabs a couple times a day, quickly zipping through them after they’ve loaded to see if anything new has been posted.
... how does this guy get anything accomplished?

I <3 that Thinkpad X200 too. It's actually better than the new X201 since the latter is no longer available in hi-res.
IPredator seems a nice idea, i didnt knew about it. Tks
Also the new Version of Thunderbird has vastly improved search, I think.
