+<LI><a name=16><b>How can I make a whole thread open or closed?</b>
+<p>
+Sometime people want to mark a whole thread in a way. An example is a to-do list,
+where they want a special icon on high priority things, and have this icon disappear
+one the task is finished. This can be easily done with icons. The configuration could
+look like this:
+
+<pre>
+Attributes = Author, Status, Subject
+IOptions Status = icon1.gif, icon2.gif, icon4.gif
+Preset Status = icon4.gif
+Preset on reply status = icon2.gif
+Icon comment icon1.gif = Closed entry
+Icon comment icon4.gif = Open entry
+Thread display = $Author $Subject
+Thread icon = Status
+</pre><p>
+
+New entries get an exclamation mark icon for example ("Preset status = ..."). Replies
+to this entry get a reply icon. Once the thread should be closed, one simple edits
+the top entry in that thread and changes the icon. The icon1.gif from the distribution 
+is maybe not ideally suited for that, but one could make a green check mark icon for example
+for that. The "Thread display" and "Thread icon" make this icon appear at the left side
+of the threaded display.
