It seems to me a misfeature for TB! to have tied threading to the

the threading selection for any one folder with that option ticked
results in that threading selection being propogated to all folders so
ticked.

Or am I missing something?  Any enlightenment appreciated.

To the best of my incomplete knowledge you're not and, really, rather a
lot of TB!'s customisation features are a horrible muddle and need to be
rewritten from scratch.

(I've never understood the 'use account default column settings' - where
are they set? I would expect the defaults to be set in Account
Properties and folders which _don't_ take the defaults to have them
explicitly set via another tab in right-mouse-button | Properties. I'm
afraid that, if things like this don't hit you in the face, they're not
worth using).

If you think the column settings lack clarity, try 'use folder-specific
print settings' - this was explained to me as clearly as it could have
been yet is still utterly incomprehensible. I have neither time nor
inclination to learn such curious user interface notions ...

threading (or really, unthreading) a folder??

2002-02-04 Thread Peter Bennett



How the h*** do you enable and disable threading in a folder?

I somehow got the folder for a mailing list into threading mode and it
is driving me nuts - I want to turn threading OFF!! but can't find any
command to do so, and the help file doesn't provide any help.

Hello Peter,

You can go to the View menu on the toolbar, go down to View threads
by, and choose None (or any of several threading choices).

Re: threading (or really, unthreading) a folder??

2002-02-04 Thread Jonathan Wayne

I like using the Alt-number combos; try Alt-1 through Alt-4, and Alt-0 to turn
off.

Now if only threading was a per-folder option!

(Actually use the Help File for TB Help?? Don't bother, it's a lost cause...)
