Well think nothing seems easy if you try it :) Some things are difficult other ones not so :) Well the point is not that is will be really difficult to sor a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] But think at that situation. You have a mailing list with 100 e-mails and more each day. Now at first you have a thread let's say A. Then you become answers on that. You will be very interested into that Thread. Then someone say "Hey I must look first something before I answer", during the time he think about comes another 500 Mails with other threads. Then you have the thread you ar interested at the bottom some answers maybe in the middle and other ones at the top. Think that's not really a good working. Or you see it not like me? Ok now you can go and say for each thread I'm interested I make a subfolder and filter by topic but think that can't be really a solution?! I'm not sure but I think normal the MUA's I know do the threading by using the message ID. Normal every thread have a starting message id and if you look for example the message ID here (Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) will be during the thread allways the same (local part) only if a reply of a reply follows the host part change. But I'm not the real expert in this thing I only think to remember to read something bout the threading and how it normal works in MUA's. > As for as sorting into folders by mailing list, that is easy to set up. > Usually I use the Reply-To address when setting up the filter.

And for me it's not so necessary like the possibility to sort by thread.
