Re[2]: Filed sorting
You'd be surprised of how many different defaults different people would want. For you, threading by Reference + Subject is the 'natural way', for me it is by Reference _only_ I know of people who thread only by Subject and many who don't thread at all. I also do not care what the threadign method is as long as I can scroll back up to the previous messages in a logical sequence. I will try Reference only as that is probably more logical than Message and subject in theory. -- Best wishes, Steve Lee http://jumbocruiser.com Tel +44 7768 211612 Current version is 3.5 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Just you wait Mr. Lee. :) I personally prefer the current behaviour which leaves the selected message in view. Ah but in which case why would you click the sort by column buttons if you did not want to see the messages with the flags -- Best wishes, Steve Lee http://jumbocruiser.com Tel +44 7768 211612 Current version is 3.5 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Re: Filed sorting
Hello Steve, Ah but in which case why would you click the sort by column buttons if you did not want to see the messages with the flags If you just want to see flagged messages, there is a better method to do that without re-sorting. Just Alt+click on the flag of a flagged message. It works the same for not flagged, kept/not kept, read/unread, and also on the From, To, Subject, Received, Created, etc. columns. To return to the View All state, just hit Esc. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Not the way it is currently implemented. If subjects repeat over time, it may get buried in ages old thread, instead of current thread. Also, if one wants to fix threading, it just gets annotated in a file somewhere and doesn't actually fix the mail. No editing of mail, or making notes in a message in the mailbox is allowed. I would like to be able to make notes in email messages. Such as annotate phone conversations about an email, etc. There is a work around, where you can make floating notes you might remember to look at later, which seems inadequate to me. There seems to be some notion that it is WRONG to want to make a note in a message, and that someone might one day perpetrate a forgery if such an ability existed, and they are saving users from themselves. -- Dwight A.

Dear Stefan, When we click on one for the field headings to sort the table, could you please have the scroll bar shoot up (or down) so that you can see the first or last message? In theory clicking on the flagged column for instance, all the flagged messages should shoot to the top and be immediately visible instead of having to manually scroll up. -- Best wishes, Steve Lee http://jumbocruiser.com Tel +44 7768 211612 Current version is 3.5 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
