Hi, all --

Given the example of my two replies to Magnus's two replies to a posting
recently, I have

  8994 r -  Jan 19 Andreas Herceg  (  19) my-hdr entry disappears after 
  8995  sF  Jan 20 To Mutt Users'  (  77) `>
  8996 r +  Jan 20 Magnus Bodin    (  21)  `>
  8997 r +  Jan 20 Magnus Bodin    (  26)   |>
  8998  sF  Jan 20 To Mutt Users'  (  50)   |`>
  8999  sF  Jan 20 To Mutt Users'  (  91)   `>

in my mailbox.  Now, I know how the thread construction works, and what
is shown here is right, but it doesn't make so much sense.  I'd really
like to see my reply (91 lines) to Magnus's first message (21 lines)
up there with it, even though I wrote it after he wrote his own reply
(26 lines).  As it stands this way, I don't get to my first reply (91)
until after I've gone through his reply (26) *and* my reply to that
(50 lines).  Maybe what I want is even to have the shortest threads
listed first or some such.  As I think about it, it kinda feels like I
want threads sorted purely by date with the thread tree spread out and
interleaved (don't ask me how to draw it! :-) so that I can track what
belongs where but mainly see all of the replies at a given thread level.

Is there any way to turn this around?  I have $sort_aux set to date but
don't know what I'd choose to reorder things (partly because I don't
really have a picture of how it should lay out, darn it).  Let's see,
here...  I just tried sort_aux=last-date and it seems to work for this
example; can anyone familiar enough with how it works predict whether or
not I'd be happy with it for busier threads?  I don't have a familiar one
handy at the moment to use for testing.

Hmmm...  $collapse_subthread would be really cool here, too.  Any
thoughts on that?


TIA & HAND

:-D
