Are we using the same Bat?
I just copied all messages since July 6th from my TBUDL/TBBETA
folder to a test folder and tested there, in "Thread by Reference"
View, sorted by "Received date/time".
Under the thread you started with the subject "OK, what am I
missing?", I deleted the level 4 message by Katsmeow which changed
the subject to "Newbie questions" (yes, I agree TB should start a
new thread for it). All its downstream messages (easily
distinguishable with its different subject) are still under the same
thread, except being promoted one level.

Ok, so what you want is basically an option to "show deleted
messages", right? I would like that, too, plus a way to easily
undelete one.

I use color groups, but I still like flagging for more temporary
purposes. Because:
1. You can't assign color with one click.
2. You can hold down the Alt key and click on a flag (any flag) to
show all flagged messages in a folder, the same way to find all
messages from you by click on your name while holding down the Alt
key. You can't do that with colored messages.
