I was called on this on the beta list earlier, and it is, indeed, a
valid point. Those of us who don't thread by reference wouldn't
notice it, and hence probably never gave it a thought (I know I
didn't).
What I find ironic, however, is that we now have essentially a new
thread going with the old subject line regarding folders and
alphabetic order. So, the thread's intact but the subject line is
irrelevant. :-)
So, six of one, a half dozen of the other.
