Re: TB's Threading Peculiarities
Hello all, on Thu, 20 Jan 2000, at 08:15:32 local time (GMT -0800), Nick wrote: Still, I'll see a thread where the first message is the original, as it should be, then most, but not all, of the replies are listed in descending order with the little + sign next to each one. the replies to the original message, that themselves have been replied to, also get a + of course ... Other combinations I've tried will list the replies _without_ the + signs, but then I'll find the original message stuck somewhere in the middle of the thread, which doesn't make sense to me, and at times will make it difficult to follow the thread. i've seen that too ; i think it happens when the system time on someone's PC is not 'correct' ... What combinations of viewing preferences would allow TB to simply list the original message as the first message in a thread, followed in chronological order by all the replies, and without the little + signs necessitating all the extra mouse clicks required to read the thread? What have others found that works for them? i'm using : view - display - all messages view - sort by - creation time view - view threads by - subject works fine. only when someone's PC clock is off, his replies will all be at the top (running early) or bottom (running late) of the thread. -- Rob ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) using The Bat! 1.39 Beta/1 ...

Re: TB's Threading Peculiarities
On Thursday, January 20, 2000 at 09:29:16 ,Nick scribbled:
NA Is that sort by subject Angel, or view threads by subject? I wonder what
NA the difference in the two would be?
View / View Threads By / Subject
View / Sort By / Creation Time
These are the two settings I use.
I also have the "Created" bar on the editor set so that the most recent email shows
first.
For the most part, the emails are in the order showing the *most recent* first
according to subject,
and both the originating email AND the Re:'s are listed appropriately. I only have to
click once to expand the entire thread.
I don't know what the literal difference is or what the technical explanation would
be, I
can only describe it as Sort=match subject line exactly and View= Match like-words in
subject
line. Anyone know the technical reasons? :D

Well Thomas, I'm going to give that a try, and see if it alleviates the problem with having the original message strangely stuck in the middle of a thread. If it's the originating computer system time that is at fault, changing to "Received time", which I presume is the time my Server get's the message, will correct the anomaly of having the originating message somewhere other than at the beginning of the thread.

Re: TB's Threading Peculiarities
On Friday, January 21, 2000 at 07:19:52 ,Thomas scribbled:
TF Have you tried:
TF view - sort by - received time
TF instead?
The only reason I have it sort by creation time is because when I tried it by Received
time, for
some reason the emails in the thread seem to jump all over the place as to which one
came
first etc. It takes some servers forever to receive things, which accounts for someone
asking me: "have you gotten this yet?" and I haven't, yet they emailed it hours ago.
AFAICT, the creation time keeps Re:'s in more order, then I don't have to be clicking
all over
to figure out who wrote what when. :D I've tried every combo possible and this is what
works for me :D

Re: TB's Threading Peculiarities
On Friday, January 21, 2000 at 08:22:40 ,Rob scribbled:
R oh yeah, and then click the 'creation time' column header so the arrow
R points up (ascending ?) ;-)
I have mine pointing down, so that the most recent message is displayed first :D That
way
when I open the thread, all the recent messages are right there "in my face" so to
speak.
Just a personal preference...not saying it's for everyone...It's just easier for me
this
way :D

Re: TB's Threading Peculiarities
Morning Nick Andriash, If it's the originating computer system time that is at fault, changing to "Received time", which I presume is the time my Server get's the message, will correct the anomaly of having the originating message somewhere other than at the beginning of the thread. Actually, the received time is the time you downloaded the message.
