There seems to be a bug in the mechanism that sorts messages in
mailboxes. If I click, say, the "Date" tab to sort by date, it seems to
sort correctly. But if I resort in the same category (to change the
direction of the sort), then resort again (to get the original direction
back) it doesn't work. It seems that the messages are not resorted at
all on this second resort. On the first sort, the latest message is listed
first. After I resort, the earliest message is listed first. When I click
the button, again, though, nothing happens. What it should do is
reverse the sort order, so once again I should see the latest message
first. I can get around the problem by sorting on a different axis and
then going back (i.e., sorting by subject, then sorting again by date),
but it still looks like a bug.
There is also something funny about the way the sort on "From"
works. It doesn't seem to group all messages from the same user
together. It doesn't seem to be related to threading, since the messages
aren't indented. What I'll see is several messages at the same
indentation level, but with various senders intermixed. Also (and I
don't know if this is related), the "From" sort doesn' seem to be affected
by the bug I mentioned above; it actually does resort every time I click
the tab.
Finally, another word-wrap issue: I have started using an external
editor to write my emails. However, I have my editor set to
word-wrap but not save with hard line breaks. When Mahogany
receives the completed email from the external editor, it should
rewrap all the text. As it is, it just leaves all the lines very very long.
It seems like this would be relatively easy compared to
dynamic word-wrapping in the editor, since all it has to do is fiddle
with a static block of text. (I don't want to set my editor to
save with line breaks, because I can only do that on a per-file-type
basis, and Mahogany uses a generic .tmp file. If it used a specific
file extension, I could set my editor up to use hard line breaks for that
type, but I'm not going to let Mahogany define how I handle a
generic type like .tmp.)
Are these known bugs, or should I create a report in the tracker?
