That's exactly what clicking on the arrows next to the column titles is supposed to be. That mimicks most Windoze apps. What more do you want?!? > Thanks. This is how I understood it.

The conflict seems to be that users want to view their newest messages at the top of the mailbox listing, but "previous/next" might need to behave in the opposite fashion that it does now. Yuck. Well, if anyone has any bright ideas for how to phrase such a convoluted setting, it could probably be placed in the Display Preferences Options page. What frightens me is the flood of support emails from people who see this setting and make things even more confused... >>> Speaking of sorting, the one I keep reaching for but not finding is >>> sort >>> by size.

IIRC, this has been fixed in CVS, but I'm only remembering vaguely. - Paul ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
