I prefer to sort by creation time but it escapes me why I found that worked better for me than received time. I sort by References, not subject as I get unrelated messages with the same subject (such as "hello" or "look at this"). I'm not sure about the "group by date" function as it seems to alter the order slightly as well as putting in the date-related groupings. Anyway, I sometimes use it to help me look for something but not as a regular view. > And I don't sort by Descending order JFYR, so the newest message thread > always appears at the top of the 'daily message tree'.

This saves a lot of faffing about. I don't get that as I don't "group by date". I may give it a try. > There's always a downside, but I haven't come across it yet...although I'm > sure someone will enlighten me if there is. The only downside I experience is the order replies are displayed. For example, a thread started at noon with replies to the original post at 12:30, 13:00, etc. The 13:00 reply is displayed above the 12:30 display, so if you start reading from the top of the thread you read the later reply first (which can be confusing if they refer to the earlier reply in their own reply). -- Best regards, MFPA Editing is a rewording activity Using The Bat! v4.0.28.3 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.0.24.0 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
