Justin> There are a couple of things in your request that I am unclear on: Justin> Do you want to sort by receipt time or sending time? You say both Justin> as though they were interchangeable, but they are quite different. Hmmmm. I want to be able to read the messages in the order they were intended to be read! :-) IOW I want to see answers following the question. Ever since switching mail servers from Unix to M$ Exchange I am always seeing the most recent messages first - the answer before the question. Having said that, I suppose I mean sorting by send time. Justin> Do you want threading, or sorting-by-date after sorting-by-subject? Justin> Often, messages in a grouping/thread/whatever are either in Justin> chronological order or are threaded, but they cannot usually be Justin> both. I want threading. That's paramount. I can't fathom clients that can't thread messages together (M$ Outlook 98). Within a thread, I want messages to be sorted chronologically. Oh! One sec! Are you saying that 'threading' is exclusive of 'sorting'? Maybe that's my problem. Maybe the Exchange Server's method of assigning IDs used by threads is what's scrweing up my ordering. If that's the case, what do I want to do instead that would be the equivalent of thrading? I want all messages with the same subject to be listed together under a single entry, and sorted by date within the thread.
