I'd like Thunderbird to mark each newsgroup I subscribed with the number
of unread messages, but ONLY for special threads (threads with the
yellow star of "special").

I've subscribed various NGs, each one of them gets dozen of messages
each 10 minutes (sync timing), so I see
"a.c.s.thunderbird (123)" with a bold font, and I need to enter the
group and check if any of my special threads has received any follow-up.

Is there any way to tell Thunderbird to only count special thread
messages in the notification badge?

Thanks

Alberto

All that I know is # of messages, and size or group and 15M or 1.4K etc.
You could tag the first message in an important thread as "important", and then when you come back
if any of the threads that are marked important show, you open those threads and skip the remainder.

right-click->tag, pick a level and it will color the message header text that color.
