I am using mutt, but I believe most mail readers thread emails for you. All I am trying to point out is for a normal user ( ie somebody who is subscribed to the list), when a thread starts, you read them in date/time order as them come in, why seems illogical to have to scroll through stuff that you have just read. The exception is of course when you start a thread in the middle. > > Also, your mail was _middle_posted_ and quoted every message before it > in full.

It could have been -- some say February, some say March, some speculate maybe earlier it started -- but nevertheless, it happened as we showed up here. The attacks on our country affected our economy. Corporate scandals affected the confidence of people and therefore affected the economy. My decision on Iraq, this kind of march to war, affected the economy." - George W. Bush 02/08/2004 on Meet the Press
