Ferdinand, I understand your frustration. But you agree that you asking KDE 
to change is not based on logic, but on the fact that you surely won't 
convince MS to do it.

A triangle pointing up, i.e. with the basis down, pictures to me better the 
ordering of messages in a folder. The lowest priority item is at the bottom, 
just like the basis of the triangle is at the bottom.

Now, just because MS, although got it wrong, won't be willing to change it, 
should we bend ourselves backward and do it?
