Those do not trouble me much, as I tell Pine to sort by thread by arrival date. It is a sort method I sorely miss when using Kmail or Thunderbird.
KMail has both by-message-date and by-arrival-order mailbox sorting.
And threaded? I mean, thread sort, and the threads sorted by arrival date?
Yes, And Threaded. If you check the Threaded view checkbox messages will be properly threaded (by message ids) and then within threads sorted to Date/Arrival/Subject/Sender/etc order. So when you sort by arrival order with threaded on the first sort is by threads, and the threads are sorted to arrival order by the uppermost thread entry, then within threads they are sorted by the threading, and by arrival order when more than one poster replies to the same thread member. Its the best I've seen. The only problem is it tends to make me really irritated when users reply with non-threading mailers which causes thread splintering and fives you 5 or 8 threads for the same subject. A peek at the headers of such posts usually reveals Outlook. sigh... -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
