Yeah, you're right. Well, now it goes for both lists and hopefully it'll raise some questions and other people would join the discussion, as well. >> Anyway, what if I want Mutt to sort all mailing list folders first by >> thread, then by date (most recent last) and finally by score; like >> Slrn does for me at the moment.

Keep me posted and let me know when it comes out, if I'm too blind to see. :-) >> I'm quite sure.

You can color, limit, > search, etc. based on scores. E.g.: Yeah, well - actually I had doubt in my mind when I wrote the above, and unfortunately now my doubts got proven true. What's the real point in Mutt's scoring then, if it cannot be used to sort mails? Yes, I do realize that coloring, limiting and searching by score makes some things easier but still I can't say that I'd think Mutt's scoring would be very effective. So, I'm still not going to set up a score file; after I can take a look at Daniel's patch things can change. > But I don't know a lot.

But in Slrn, I really couldn't manage without scoring anymore. It just makes reading news helluva lot easier, as I can first check the "important" stuff and the stuff I really don't wanna see is already marked read, thus I can read them if I want to, but often I just let them go. Waiting for the threading patch with score as sort parameter!-) - -- Jussi Ekholm -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- http://erppimaa.ihku.org/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9S6mbAtEARxQQCB4RAm4HAKDADLxVjsU1414gNiZEWn9t5chKVQCeNhKu kbcL+v9r4OTOodD9mlxhAzo= =XccA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
