That is certainly a problem. And now that I am using sbc mail I ahve to use pop or imap; that is true. > > > Your > > machine can be directly accessible.

Let us be clear what I am saying does not work. You want your mail threaded as well as sorted in ascending order. Now you read the mail message in a threaded mail list. The next item in the threaded list happens to have been received after the mail message that follows the threaded mail group. In evolution you jump to the next message but now it appears where it would in date order. This is very annoying. What do you do to deal with this annoyance? -- Aaron Konstam <akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
