When I saw Ming-Li's message about "default account column settings and
threading mode ", I felt like making these comments:

ML> [snipped] IOW, if you change the column settings on a folder with
ML> the option enabled, all other folders (in the same account) with the
ML> same option enabled would be changed, too. So much is expected. What
ML> I didn't know is, changing the threading mode of one such folder
ML> also change the threading mode of others.

ML> Has it always been like this (how come I didn't notice it)?

Yes, it has always been like this.

ML> IMHO, it's not a good idea. First of all, the account default column
ML> settings should be just that, not including threading mode. Second,
ML> as a practical matter, it doesn't make sense, either. [snipped]

ML> Could someone tell me if it's always been like this, or it's been
ML> changed? What's your take on this? Any advantages to its current
ML> implementation?

Well, you may have already noted that each view has its own column
settings, in that if you switch from one thread view to another, the
columns will change. Therefore, if you change from unthreaded mode to
threaded mode in one of the folders using the default column settings,
you'd have effectively changed its column settings and the other default
folders will follow suit.

Whether or not the other folders should follow threaded mode, I agree
that they shouldn't but I do see why the 'problem' exists. I personally
don't mind since I use the same view and column settings for my default
folders. It works for me but I see your problem and acknowledge it.
