I do not exactly know how server-side threading works, but for local threading, this seems nornmal to me: what is sorted is the list of messages that are siblings: all the top of the threads, all the answers to the same message, etc. So if one message m2 is (considered) an answer of another message m1, it is normal that it is located just after (or near) m1, whatever their dates may be. [Wich reminds me that we may very well consider m2 to be an answer to m1 although m1 may have a date much later than m2. But I never saw that, and this does not seem to be the case here.] TF> The funny thing is that I cant find any of these messages if I turn TF> off threading and sorting, its just like they dissapear completely TF> (I'm not completely sure about that last comment though, the messages TF> might be there some where, I just can't find them.) M-Dev is a very good example, as I have all of them (except maybe some spam) since a little more than one year, now. If you could give precise examples of the mis-behavior you observe...

What do you get exactly when you turn off sorting *and* threading. What are you looking for?

Please be a little more specific about what you observe and what you were waiting for. Give exact references of the messages you refer to if they are less than one year old. I would be very happy to provide some insight or chase the bug... -- Xavier Nodet PGP fingerprint: EFE0 0E75 C4DC 2654 5C36 4E2D 107C 19DE 0646 1FE2 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Mahogany-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mahogany-developers
