my alternative for "offline" mode: i run exim & courier on my laptop, and
when i'm offline, exim is told to queue outbound mail and wait. when ever i
hook up, i launch a queue runner to clear the queues.

ok, what i actually noticed was lack of a facility for tracking which
messages i read, which i mentally extrapolated into "nothing like newsrc"
for keeping track of messages.

there is a default "tree mode" which looks much like the current layout.
there are two other options available, of which i found split view very
nice (before i gave up on the current opera because it crashed all the
time.)
with split view, the left side is divided into two panes. the upper shows a
piece of the tree, the lower shows the leaf nodes in the selected node of
the tree from the upper pane.
the other thing that is nice is that the order items are displayed in using
split view is selectable; you can order them yourself or you can let it use
alpha. i'd think for a mail/newsreader you might also consider allowing
ordering by status (contains unread, contains flagged, etc.)

that's fine. my time is short enough that gratuitously pitching code and
replacing it isn't on my agenda.
