    Why not.

    New mail, when received, is on the top.  I think you're missing that
point.
It is broken, I'm acknowledging that.  I'm also pointing out *WHY* it is
broken and the best possible solution.  Yelling at me will solve nothing
because a proper threading most likely will not come out in the next version,
they can't fix how it is done currently without breaking compatibility (which
they've said they won't do until the next *major* release) so you have a
choice.

1: Do what I suggest and live with the limitations.
2: Go elsewhere.

    I hate to be rude about it, but that is the long and the short of it. 
Southsoft could change their minds tomorrow for all I know, but, as I said, I
am presenting what I can to the best of the knowledge I have today.  Take it
or leave it.
