Greetings, mutt users.
Here are the relevant parts from .muutrc: set sort=threads
set sort_aux=reverse-last-date-received
The above places the thread with the newest message on top,
with the next newest under it, an so on. Reading through
.muttrc, It's not the best way to sort, but, I got used it.
I'm trying to understand if it's 'normal' (wink: Derek
Martin, if you copy) to have most of my threads sorted
not-really-through-date-received.
In the same thread, a message from 14:00 will display above
a message from 13:59, and the same goes for messages days
apart. On a thread with 3+ messages, I start to sort
messages mentally, in order to follow correct order.
Is it a valid function of how mutt sorts threads, or, am I
to blame ?
Here's an example of how a recent thread, in this mailing
list, is presented, in my mutt index.
