Hallo Richard,

On Sun, 26 Jan 2003 00:13:04 +0000GMT (26-1-03, 1:13 +0100GMT, where I
live), you wrote:

I made a screendump located at:
http://www.krakeel.cistron.nl/threaded_by_references.jpg to show how
it looks here. Your message I'm replying to now is highlighted. Follow
the tree back up, you'll find my message you replied to, and another
one back up is your message I replied to.

Yes. you're probably sorting in descending order, but that wouldn't
really matter. And you're having unchecked:
 Options -> Preferences -> Message list -> Automatically adjust first
                                          column width for threaded view
That would account for what you're describing. Especially the latter
option might help.

What I mean by level is this (all messages with same level have same
number):

1-Blablabla
  |
  2-Re:Blablabla
  |
  2-Re:Blablabla
  | |
  | 3-Re:Blablabla
  |   |
  |   4-Re:Blablabla
  |
  2-Re:Blablabla
    |
    3-Re:Blablabla


Should be clear now.
