I'm with Jeremy on this one. Make it a preference and those that want it can have it, those who don't, don't have see it. I doubt a feature such as threaded viewing would cause any long delays in startup time. We all love (or love to hate) PowerMail for different things, but for me one of its strengths has always been it's flexibility. There were all sorts of private scripts I wrote at Apple with PowerMail to handle a variety of tasks that I tried doing with mail.app, but it just couldn't do. Simple things, but PM let me do it. It's this flexibility that we should all be expanding on. I see threaded viewing as simply another way PM can be flexible. Turn it on, and you have it. Turn it off, and you don't. A few settings such as these that can help set PM apart from mail.app and other email clients can only strengthen the product. For those keeping count, I'm still neutral on this feature, but I'm strongly opposed to those who want to shut the door on the best feature of PM; that is the flexibility of the product.
