That's because the browser has all your history. The point of my post was that the References header doesn't always have all of a post's antecedents' mids. (But I don't know if that's why you don't get the kind of view you want or not.) > On those few occasions when a thread goes on and on, a similar set up > would be o.j.... if I'm 46 messages deep in a thread, maybe across > the top SM could show "40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45" and then when I select > message 40, across it's top it could show "30, 31, 32, ....39, 40", > etc, so I could go all the way back in several steps. There aren't guidelines about which mids get dropped. There's no guarantee that the six immediate antecedents' mids are available in the References header. > As I have my SM set up as "View, Sort, Threaded", I can just as > easily click up the thread in the messages pane, but for others that > may be set up unthreaded, having this means of going back, and > forward, could be useful. Going forward is even trickier, unless the client has indexed the posts so that there's a database containing a post's children as well. Even so, threads branch, so moving down them isn't nearly as simple as moving up them. -- »Q« /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / against html e-mail X <http://asciiribbon.org/> / \ _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
