Ed Greshko:
Lucky for me T-Bird sorts threads based on subject as well as header
information. Doesn't Evolution?
It does. I'm using it.
Though he's right that replies should give an unmistakeable clue about
what's being replied to. It makes it far easier to understand if you
don't have to find a prior message to understand it. And some people
delete old messages, especially when they're inundated with hundreds
each day.
On Evolution, I have it only showing the last 5 day's worth. If it
were easily customisable, I might narrow it down to 3 day's worth.
Back when I did usenet using Forte Agent, I recall doing something
similar, with it auto-deleting cached messages that were a couple of
weeks old. At least with usenet, you could very easily re-fetch an
older uncached message (you still saw the headers, you just didn't have
any cached body content for them).
