I would very much like to learn, what you think could be a better solution. It
seems to me that you are asking the impossible, if you want TB to solve all
threading problems on the amount of space that your split-mode allows. IMHO, it
is better to think of the threading-possibilities in the list-view as a generous
bonus - and then do serious thread-reading in the folder-view. When this is
said, I will the first to admit, that the folder-view can be a bit cumbersome,
as well. At present, I have expanded the "Message List"-view (in the
folder-view) to almost full screen and then toggles this "Message List"-view on
and off (using Alt+V+M). This works great for me - but it would be nice with
more advanced options for toggling the message list-view on and off (full
screen/half screen/off).
As you probably know, the news reader Agent solves all these problems by
1) putting a limit on how many follow up-levels there can be in a thread
and
2) allowing control of the degree of indentation of the follow-ups
In my opinion, 1) is a very poor solution and is one of the main reasons, I gave
up Agent as an e-mail reader (and became a TB-user :-)). Is it really something
like this, that you want for TB?
