Using KMail 1.3.1 (KDE 2.2.1), SuSE 7.3. I like to read my mail sorted by thread. The annoyance comes in when reading mail in a thread made up of messages that have arrival dates that are later than the dates of the messages below this particular thread. Annoyance = If I delete the top message of the current thread, then the highlight drops down to the next message in the current thread. So far so good. The annoyance is that KMail then resorts the messages based on the new highlighted message. Now the highlighted message header might be down at the bottom of the header list. This is very annoying, as the highlight jumps up and down the message header list as you delete read messages. Does anybody understand what I mean? Does anyone else share this same annoyance? Is there some way to configure KMail to not do this? I really like KMail except for this annoyance.
I would say: until this is fixed in a future release, uncheck Folder-->Thread messages and click Subject (above the subjects), so the messages are sorted by subject in alphabetical order. There you have your threads back, but this time without quirks!
Yea, but then the dates are all jumbled up!
A nice feature of kmail is that the leading "Re:" is not taken into account when sorting the subjects alphabetically, so the original posts are not separated from the replies.
FWIW, I have KMail 1.2 running on Blackbox.
