Hello Robert, Krister, Erik, and Others,
Erik has used the "View" menu option to select "Organize by thread".
He's talking about information in the Message Viewer table.
I find that the only high volume mail I get is from this list and from
the viphone list, and if I want to view my mail in unthreaded format,
I can still move up and down the thread in the message viewer if I use
Option+Up Arrow or Option+Down Arrow on my MacBook to move to the next
or previous post in the thread (depends on how you have your messages
sorted in the viewer table -- this is when I sort on "Date Received"
so that the latest messages show up at the top of the table. Another
tip is that if you continue to hold down Option+Up or Down arrow keys
for a bit, you'll move to the top or bottom of the list . That tip
came from Apple's Accessibility team, but it's a general Mac feature.
The best description of mail features and shortcuts in practical use
that I've found is in the "Take Control of Apple Mail in Leopard"
guide. The updated version of the guide for Snow Leopard is not
available yet. Here's the link to the page for the Leopard guide:
http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/leopard-apple-mail
For new users, the "Take Control" series are DRM-free, downloadable
PDF guides that are very reasonably priced (usually $10 or $15 list,
and often discounts are available). On some topics, such as wireless
networking and mail, they include information that I haven't seen
elsewhere. And some guide topics, like how to use the command line in
terminal, just aren't published elsewhere with the same focus.
I don't remember where I found out about the Option+arrow key
navigation for threads, though. Occasionally I come across keystroke
combinations that I don't recall reading about elsewhere, like using Fn
+Right arrow to move to the Trash when I'm in the Dock, or Fn+Down
arrow to cycle through the sections of the Dock to quickly get to
files and folders in the Dock if I'm at one of the applications, etc.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther

Hi, It's always done this on my mac, and it does on my roommate's
as well. I don't know any one else who uses threading. Most of my
mac wielding clients don't get enough email to need to worry about
it. You should get an indicater from mail to show that a message
has a thread. Unless for some reason the column that shows the
status isn't checked in mail.
Best,

As you read through your mail vo will tell you if a message has a
thread and whether it is expanded or collapsed.
How on Gods green earth do you do to get it to tell you that? I
have worked with threaded mail ever since Leopard and it has never
told me the message had threads, or am i misunderstanding things?
