This is the first Thunderbird extension I ever wrote and so I am still learning Thunderbird's internals.

In fact, you can write your own view. Note that the Visualize window has an address bar at the top. That default URL is pointing to something like this [on Windows] C:\Documents and Settings\[user id]\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\default\[some random [EMAIL PROTECTED] [on Mac] ~/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/[random string].default/extensions/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/content/visualize.html You can modify that file or you can create something else. One idea is to use Timeplot to plot some statistics on the messages. > Simile does not work with subfolder wich is a feature that might come in > handy and does not understand what a sent-mail folder is.

It means when new messages come in they also show up in the list even if they don't match the current filters. I'm using Seek to deal with messages that I've flagged "Todo". I check "whole threads" to see the full conversations. And I check "new messages" so that I can still see the new messages (while dealing with todos) without resetting the facets' selections. > I would like that the disengage option hid the seek pane as well, > instead of needing to use ctrl+k. > Good point. > The thread option, while a good idea, was disconcerting to use.

The non-match messages have grayed out subjects, but I guess that's not sufficient. If you're familiar with extensions, you could play with this yourself. Look in ... /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/skin/classic/styles/overlay.css and find treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(kf-nonmatch) { color: #888888; } That rule specifies how non-match messages' subjects are rendered. Match messages are rendered normally. > What about an option to sort search results chronologically (not > the root of the conversation) while in thread mode? > I believe they are actually sorted (if you click on the "date" column) by the root messages.
