Hi Ron,
On 10 July 2000 at 18:56:50 GMT -0400 (which was 23:56 where I
live) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote and made these points on the subject
of "Difference between Threads and Subject":
RC> Can some please explain the difference between viewing by thread
RC> and sorting by subject??
Threaded view is very different from sorting. Threading involves the
relationship between messages using Message-Id, In-Reply-To and
References headers to form a nested chain of related messages. Even if
the topic changes within a thread, message nesting and relatedness is
preserved.
May I take this opportunity to point out that, for us
thread-by-reference view addicts, replying to start a new topic is a
very antisocial practice!
Sorting by subject has very little use for me personally. I sort by
Creation Time and Thread by Reference (or by none when over-viewing
the entire list to find a particular message).
