[Tfug] tfug's traffic too much

[Richie Smit]

"What he said." Plus, nobody mentioned using Thunderbird with thread 
view switched on. You can choose between:

  1 All threads
  2 Unread
  3 Threads with unread
  4 Watched threads with unread
  5 Ignored threads

I think the difference between 2 and 3 is that 2 doesn't show threads 
where you've read part of it. It also inexplicably feels the need to 
indent replies to show who replied to what message and what color 
underwear they have on today. Okay, one of these is a lie.

Apple Mail does pretty much the same trick with fewer useless features 
and more functionality -- specifically, sorting messages "the right way 
round" with the most recent at the top works in Apple Mail's threaded view.

But yeah, these thread-sorting thingies are a prime example of why you 
shouldn't mess with the subject line.

Rich.
