While we are at it...
There is an unfortunate interaction between threading and sorting.
(This is threading on a local mbox-file)
I have threading on and at the same time the messages sorted by date. (Most
recent on top) With this situation, the first message in the thread seem to
indicate the date, which is used for the sorting. (This will "usually" be
the oldest in the thread)
At the same time I have folders with a bunch of mail I didn't even open
("oh not, I can't mess with this right now") So on many folders the count
of unread messages doesn't say much...
In comes another message (a response to a thread which has been going on for
quite a while) which is really urgent. But instead of showing up (with the
whole thread) near the top, it gets buried in the folder waaay down. At
one time I didn't find a urgent mail for a whole month - until I got
"reminded" - not nice.
Could the threading/sorting-interaction please be changed in the following
way: Threading is done first, in the "usual" way. Sorting comes as a second
step. Sorting regards the whole threat as one entity.
- For sorting ascending, find the message in the thread with the smallest
attribute used for the sorting. The sort-order of the whole thread is
according to this finding. (Inside the thread the messages still stay in
the threading-order)
- For sorting desending, find the bigest attribute in the thread.
This would (IHMO anyway...) result in the sortorder I would expect for this.
Does this sound reasonable ?
(Or is this already done in some way, and I just missed the option ? It is
often astonishing what is there, but I'm unware of...)
TIA
Martin
P.S.:
Let me know, if I should open/append to a bug in bugzilla.
