x27;s "subject"-column is by default almost twice as long as an average
thread-title. Try to adjust it to the length of an average title - and see how
you like "The Agent Way of Doing It" :-)

to the problem (to some degree, at least) lies
in dispensing with the columns that are not strictly needed. For instance, a lot
of mailing lists has only the name of the list in the to-field. Who needs it
then? And do you really need to know *both* time of creation and time of
receiving - both when in
as an average thread-title.
T> I was wondering: how long is an average thread-title (or message
T> subject, for that matter)?
In my experience the average message-title is around 20-30 characters. Even with
that number this title of this thread is well beyond the average (not to
mention
t necessary for the particular
folder - which need only be done once
or
2) scroll with left- and right-arrow as the need arises - which is a) adjusting
by short-cut rather than the mouse-adjustement of the subject-column
necessitated by the other solution, b) an adjustment not called for as of
cording to its follow-up level. If you open level 4, the
beginning of the names of the messages in that folder are shown on a line
underneath the folder and you are free to open them, mark them read etc. In my
opinion, this is the best alternative to TB as it is (although I am not sure it
is an alt
m of 15 levels before beginning to expand.
To refine this option it could be optional what was to happen when the limit was
reached: you could either choose to adjust the width - and thus: the level-limit
- or choose to have TB expand without asking (as it does now).
Your thoughts, please :-)

Cross my heart and hope to die: I have just now expanded all threads in
opera.general in the Opera-news group - and one of the threads stretches across
no less than four columns in my current set-up!

whole message list moves! Are you sure that this is not what is happening to
you as well?
This is, of course, not a problem of TB's threading, but a *shortcut*-problem
and can easily be solved by using another shortcut for expanding branches (like
ctrl+spacebar).

anch by branch (as
I explained in my previous post). But it seems very strange, that *my* shortcut
for "Move to next unread" (Ctrl+å) does not give rise to the problems that
*your* shortcut does.

e imported some of my news-threads into TB in order to
take advantage of TB's qualities. One of these has 29 follow-up levels and I
still don't get the problem you describe :-/

If I am right in the above, you probably won't need a "keyboard re-mapper" - not
for *this* problem, anyway!
But a good, user-friendly program that can be used for this purpose is Hot
Keyboard ( www.tblabs.com ). Highly recommended :-)

For some reason, I haven't got your original message, so I'll answer to
this one:
A simple and almost always working way to solve your problem is this
creating an account with a service like http://www.myrealbox.com and use
their SMTP-server for sending from all accounts.
