I've stopped using XNews for quite a while, so I'm not exactly sure
how it behaves. But if it's similar to Agent, then what Januk means
is that you can open/close a thread, but not part of it. In TB, each
sub-thread has its own little "+/-" sign that opens/closes it, but
not in Agent (and maybe XNews).
In general I like Agent's way of threading, as you described,
especially in that it shows the subject line once, and then showing
author names only using the combined space for subject and author,
giving it enough room to visualize the threading structure. Yet it's
not without shortcomings. Aside from what Januk suggested, it
doesn't allow rearranging column structure (except adjusting the
width of columns). That's why I said I've got a better idea (for a
perfect threaded view).
