Correct, so some one help me understand where the value is in having 
KMail start you on the most recent in the thread.  Why would you not 
want to start with the earliest unread message in the thread first.  
When the messages are threaded, KMail expands the thread with new 
mail.  I am not arguing with any one here I am just trying to 
understand where the value is in doing it the other way.
