I'm not sure how to achieve this in MHonArc, though, which is what we're using. IIRC, MHonArc supports either the N-messages-per-page style we're using now, *or* per-month pages. Fortunately, in thread view it doesn't break threads that cross month boundaries (again: IIRC), so we don't have a lot to lose either way. -Karl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
