i'm not trying to hijack jerrad's bug report, but this is quite related, and i just noticed it yesterday. in nmh-1.2, subject-major date-minor sorting does not work for me. the man page (and sortm's own verbose output) imply that "-textfield subject -limit 0" will sort "textfield-major, date-minor", which should group a mailbox essentially by subject threads, in Date: order within a subject. the date sorting never happens -- messages are grouped by subject, but left in original date order. i can work around this with two passes: sortm sortm -textfield subject but this seems silly.
