In fact, one thing that bugs me in mutt (and i can probablyfix it, just haven't got the time) is the fact that subject changes don't break thread. In most cases (90%) breaking the thread is the correct thing to do. BUT, this is very dependant on the understanding of "breaking the thread", by this I mean not a full thread break but rather mean that the mail with changed subject should be made a root item rather than a thread subitem, _and_ should NOT be placed elsewhere, i.e, it shouldn't be placed in a completely different section in the email list but should simply be placed as the next thread. By the way, is threading in kmail 'lazy"?, i.e, I just deleted a few mails from a thread in mutt, then asked mutt to sync the mailbox and suddenly the threads were reorganized, thus making me lose my current reading position and requiring me to find the thread once again, very bad for usability. mvg, Alex _______________________________________________ KMail Developers mailing list kmail@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kmail
