I still think the fact that they're restricted to numerical ascending order makes them useless for a serious threading implementation. >This is especially nice for threading >because using sequences would enable changing sibling orders by changing >the sorting of the entire folder. No respinning needed. Isn't that broken because it will sort an entire thread tree by date (say) rather than by thread and then only by date within siblings? I think that if you want to keep the threading support out of the main nmh utilities (scan/show/etc) you need to at least add an option to them to respect the order of message numbers on the command line. (But I still think that actually having the core utilities know about threads would be better, in the same way that it's more convenient for them to all know about syntaxes like '4-5', 'last:20', etc.) -- PMM _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
