Yes, VM and Gnus have several ordering methods. VM can change the physical ordering ordering of messages in the file. Gnus has an adaptive scoring method that can learn you prclivities and bubble interesting stuff to the top. (optional arg makes the following sort in reverse order) gnus-summary-sort-by-author gnus-summary-sort-by-date gnus-summary-sort-by-lines gnus-summary-sort-by-number gnus-summary-sort-by-score gnus-summary-sort-by-subject VM has even more stuff: vm-so-sortable-datestring vm-so-sortable-subject vm-softdata-of vm-sort-compare-author vm-sort-compare-author-r vm-sort-compare-byte-count vm-sort-compare-byte-count-r vm-sort-compare-date vm-sort-compare-date-r vm-sort-compare-line-count vm-sort-compare-line-count-r vm-sort-compare-physical-order vm-sort-compare-physical-order-r vm-sort-compare-recipients vm-sort-compare-recipients-r vm-sort-compare-subject vm-sort-compare-subject-r vm-sort-compare-thread vm-sort-compare-xxxxxx vm-sort-messages vm-sortable-datestring-of vm-sortable-subject-of Gnus can also limit the messages you see: / C gnus-summary-limit-mark-excluded-as-read / c gnus-summary-limit-exclude-childless-dormant / E gnus-summary-limit-include-expunged / t gnus-summary-limit-to-age / d gnus-summary-limit-exclude-dormant / T gnus-summary-limit-include-thread / D gnus-summary-limit-include-dormant / * gnus-summary-limit-include-cached / v gnus-summary-limit-to-score / m gnus-summary-limit-to-marks / u gnus-summary-limit-to-unread / a gnus-summary-limit-to-author / s gnus-summary-limit-to-subject / w gnus-summary-pop-limit / n gnus-summary-limit-to-articles / / gnus-summary-limit-to-subject Gnus can order the summary buffer any way you want: a ascii-graphical tree, collopse threads until you read them, buttons that you can click to expand/contract threads, and more. manoj -- What we do not understand we do not possess.
