Hmmm. I see what you mean. Before this new feature was introduced, I used to sort messages in descending order of received time and the oldest message would start the thread with the messages getting newer as I go down. This is my personal preference and it works for me. Finding new messages doesn't require digging since I just use the 'go to next unread message' navigation option (CTRL-]). I don't believe in imposing style on others and having the oldest message *always* at the top of the thread, no matter the sorting order chosen by dates (this is what appears to be the case after testing) seems like a bad move to me. Are there those who would wish to sort in *ascending* order of date and yet wish for the oldest message to be at the top? -- ©Allie C Martin -- List Moderator and fellow end-user PGPKey - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=PGPPubKey1 [MUA: TB! v1.54 Beta/16a (*) OS: Win2K SP2] -- _________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbbeta.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Beta: 1.54 beta/15 Wish List : http://wish.thebat.dutaint.com
