    Actually, a lot of beta testers noted it.  In fact, I am the beta tester
that spent a weekend working with Bob getting the sorting on priority
straightened out.  It was a known limitation ever since PMInews came out. 
However, as I have stated, REPEATEDLY, since they have the two versions of
PMMail out on different release schedules and they don't want to break
compatibility between the two, they are hold off on a LOT of fixes and
changes so they can do a concurrant release with the next major release.

    Get a clue.

    Let me put it another way.  That *IS* one of the things that I have
pushed for for quite a while.  Seperate ascending/descending for each of the
search criteria has been a constant request of mine since, IIRC, the original
PMMail98 beta in December of '97.  That along with IMAP are my two biggest
faults with PMMail right now.  So please, do yourself a favor and don't tell
me what I have and have not been a proponant for.
