There should be different methods to sort threads and to sort orphan articles within a thread. If it is possible I would like to suggest another way of threading. My definition of a thread is that two articles are in the same thread if they have at least one common article in the References header, even if this article is not in the server any more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yair I.
