Thanks, it makes sense. What about by from then by subject then by
reverse-date? What I want to express is that, why sort can be an
option in a form like:
sort=from,subject,reverse-date
so I can change/combine the sort rules as I want :)
Do you use vim? vim's widemode option is in the form that I've
described just above.
