Well, it seems not affected by threading problems :-). But is there
any way to go from a message to the tree-view of its thread (when the
thread is old and you can't get out browsing by date)? That's I think
the problem Daniel was thinking to. The Active State archive would
have such a feature but it doesn't work; usually it just gives a
little part of the messages of a given thread.

Furthermore, archives apart, we have a problem with managing *current*
mails. Is there someone who knows *when* subject lines are usually
screwed up? When they are too long? When certain characters are used?
When mail or news clients are not properly configured? When the server
isn't, or has bugs?

Genny.
