1. https://postimg.cc/Jt4JDY2h 2. https://postimg.cc/z3thnwsF pic n.1 is thunderbird; pic n.2 is evolution. Both are message list with date/discending ordering. msg.1 e msg.2 are at the same "level"... n.1 shows thread's messages in ascending mode... so msg.1 come before (on top) since its date is previous than msg.2. n.2 show the opposite: also msgs are ordered by date/discending; msg.2 come before (on top)... this makes more difficult to follow the "thread of thought" imo, than the case n.1. In thunderbird, thread internal ordering of messages does not change if I change the "global" ordering (as i.e. I select ordering ascending or descending by date, internally it's always ascending); in evolution it does. -- fp _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
