There are a couple work arounds to the reference threading problem
that I use.
The first is to create an archive account in which I store older
messages. I then create read filters for discussion list messages that
move messages more than 4 days old to the archive folders. In this
way, I hardly ever encountered threads that sent my other message list
columns off the screen edge.
Another thing that I do ( I do this almost exclusively now), is to
read new messages from the tickers virtual folder. If I wish to read
related messages in a thread I just re-open the relevant message which
will open the folder view for the messages residing folder. I can then
read the related messages. Again, with this system I can enjoy
threading by references when reading the TB! discussion list messages
and not be annoyed by long threads sending columns out of view.
