IMO threads are very useful for mailing lists. (With nmh, I really miss them there.) The inbox, in contrast, is best sorted by time, I think. > In summary: I would love a less sucking alternative to existing mail > clients, in nmh style, i.e. a collection of tools to handle different > aspects of the mail processing and to delegate non-mail tasks to $EDITOR, > grep, whatever.

One only needs to write a single program to have threaded viewing in nmh. For next-in-thread some minor changed in existing programs would be neccesary. > IMHO it doesn't make sense to cut things which serve you good tens of times > every day. It's not about cutting out stuff, but switching to the Unix style. ;-) meillo
