In the message list, left click the creation date column header bar until you see the little arrow pointing downwards. I assume that you want the newer messages at the beginning of the threads which is what this will do. You can also do this via the menus 'View/Sort by' and 'View/View threads by'.

Deleting a message or navigating to next CM> or previous message using the toolbar buttons or shortcut keys CM> seem to be an almost random experience. If you use the toolbar buttons you have to use the message list associated with the folder view that you've opened up. You have to enable the message list for it (View/Message List) and then configure the message list the way you wish it to be. CM> Messages in unrelated threads open. Has anyone else experienced CM> this, or is it just me? I think you're not understanding what the navigation keys/commands do. 'Move to next unread message' takes you to the next unread message in a thread, no matter where in the thread it resides. If you're in the middle of a thread, and it's the last unread message in the thread, the move to next unread message command will take you to the next unread message in the nearest thread down the list containing unread messages. It will also expand the thread and drill down to the unread message that is least deeply within the thread. 'Move to previous unread' does the same thing but in working up the list and not down the list. 'Follow next' moves you to the next *displayed* message in the list working downwards. It will not expand threads. However, it will move down through messages in a thread if the thread is expanded and the messages within it are displayed. 'Follow previous' does what 'follow next' does but in the opposite direction.

Any CM> thoughts on that? This should be optional. Having this be the case would defeat the whole purpose of having a separate list in the folder view. I personally use a different sorting method for many of my folder views.

Well, I hope what I wrote helps. :-) - -- -=Allie C Martin=- List Moderator | TB! v1.60m | Windows XP Pro PGP/GPG Public Key: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Subject=2B0717E2 _________________________________________________________________ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE87C08V8nrYCsHF+IRAk2KAKCA621pVs6gKRhM2wbnnXKCbakEMgCggGtz dfvck3NEa28bBU6/D5HHFyo= =ajuq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60m FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
