I’ve noticed a rather annoying phenomenon while reading e-mail. I do have my e-mail clients configured to group messages from a specific thread together. Ås a result, I may have a number of messages related to a given topic juxtaposed in order of original to succeeding replies. However, while reading each message I often find that messages are not automatically opened in the order presented in the message table. For example, I might encounter a message thread with five message listed in the afore mentioned time order. But I find that as I delete the currently read message the e-mail client will often jump to the last message rather than to the next message as listed in time order. And, after reading the last message of the given thread and deleting, I find that the formerly second message is then opened. This pattern of jumping back and forth continues until the last message of the thread is encountered. So, given a thread with five messages, as I read and delete the messages the order is often as follows: first, fifth, second, fourth and finally third.
This isn’t terribly constructive as comments in an immediately previous message may be substantially pertinent to the next opened message. It would be nice if I could read first, second, third, fourth and fifth messages in the “correct”sequence. Can anyone offer any solutions?
