Hi all,
Just found out that checking the "use account default column
settings" option in a folder's properties would not only do that,
but also subject the folder to the "default threading mode", if
there's such a thing. IOW, if you change the column settings on a
folder with the option enabled, all other folders (in the same
account) with the same option enabled would be changed, too. So much
is expected. What I didn't know is, changing the threading mode of
one such folder also change the threading mode of others.
Has it always been like this (how come I didn't notice it)?
IMHO, it's not a good idea. First of all, the account default column
settings should be just that, not including threading mode. Second,
as a practical matter, it doesn't make sense, either. Most of my
folders use the same column settings, but they need different
threading. For some folders (TB related ones, e.g.), threading by
reference is the best (for me). For some other mailing lists, only
threading by subject works (too many messages from yahoo or hotmail
users that don't provide references). For private mail, or some
other special mailing lists, no threading is preferred.
Could someone tell me if it's always been like this, or it's been
changed? What's your take on this? Any advantages to its current
implementation?
