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...

I can't think of any way to improve it that wouldn't involve way more
confusion. As an example, we could certainly add a set of buttons that
would take us to prev/next by date and another set for prev/next by thread
but what about when the user is reading sorted by sender? Perhaps an
option at the server config level to change the text of those buttons
would be enough. Then those that want them to say UP and DOWN can change
them.

All that does is toggle viewing the size column and where the size is
shown in the display. It doesn't bring in a sort order button for that
column. Never understood why it didn't bring that button up.... is it
supposed to be there? In fact I'd like to see a sort order option for
status flag as well...
