Hi Mark,

You can already do this by making a Filter+Rule combo.

First, create a simple one-line filter named "Watched" that looks
for articles in watched threads.

Second, create a Rule with these settings:
        "Apply to incoming articles" set to true
        "Group" set to all
        "Filter" set to "Watched"
        "Action" set to "Download"

After that, whenever you fetch headers from the server, the bodies
of watched threads will also be downloaded.

cheers,
Charles
