Not my experience. From what I have noticed, when Seamonkey/Thunderbird sorts a list of e-mails, it starts with the *previous state of the list as displayed*, not with the list as saved on disk. If several messages share the same sorting key (for instance, sender), then they are displayed together but in the same order they were before the sort. Which means that you can simply sort twice in a row -- first with the secondary sort criteria, then with the primary. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
