This question alone shows the lack of experience you have with other
e-mail clients.

The problem is where the Subject: columns suddenly moves to the right.
Did you read my initial messages that explained this? I detailed what
occurs, the design flaw, and it supposedly did not do this in earlier TB1
releases. Thus, this seems like a bug (or design flaw) that will
hopefully fixed.

There is no maximum per se, but there is a maximum threading level where
it will display messages in a thread. In Agent 1.8 if you set the
'Follow-Up Indentation:' to 3 and 'Maximum Follow-Up Level:' to 15, this
helps makes more messages properly thread. However, the limitation to
message threading still exists.

You did not understand my problem in my message. I am not suggesting any
threading limitations or such implementations. If you use Netscape
Communicator 4.x and other threading e-mail clients that do threading on
References and Message-ID's, you will see what I am referring to. Message
threading itself in TB! is good, however, the constant adjusting of the
Subject message column is not.
