Thanks for your answers to all the questions I had. While I disagree
with most of your reasoning, other people have done a better job than I
could have done explaining further how kmail's handling of threads and
views could be improved. (in this thread).

Planning is also a part of the development process, and is an
appropriate topic on these lists. It's not always a good idea to just
start working on something because you want to do it without considering
priorities and what others are doing, or finding out what the needs of
users may be. Evidently you don't regard these things to be problems or
high priority items.  That's all I wanted to know.
