Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Hi i'm a happy evolution user,
but there's one very annoying bug:

I ususally don't delete mails. And because of that a a reply that
somebody sends only after weeks will be grouped to and attached-under
his last mail about that topic. There are hundreds of mails between
todays mails and his mail (which is also from today)

Here's an illustration of my inbox:
(every word/line is an email, -- and ---- are tree branches, like evolution 
uses when grouping mails)

today
today
today
yesterday
--yesterday
----today
some_days_past
some_days_past
some_days_past
some_days_past
more_days_past
more_days_past
very_old date
---yesterday
----today

As you can see, replys to old mails are very far down the list.
A solution would be to sort the mails by the date of the last children and NOT 
by the date of the root.

The tree would then look like this:

today
yesterday
--yesterday
----today
today
very_old date
---yesterday
----today
today
some_days_past
some_days_past
some_days_past
some_days_past
more_days_past
more_days_past

Which makes much more sense imho.
I just checked my gmail acccount: google-mail does it, like i want ;)

Thanks,
Juve
