The ordering is determined by when the messages were fetched by MailMate, that is, it'll often look like oldest-at-top, but if you view messages from multiple mailboxes then the ordering won't make much sense. Adding a better ordering is possible, but I'm not sure it's trivial (may not be worth the effort considering all the other shortcomings of the current multiple-messages-view).

Are you sure it's that weird? To me it looks like headers are simply not distorted when viewing multiple messages. -- Benny
