in reply to Describe your Dream WebMail App

You may already be assuming this, but in looking at folders, I not only need to see a summary by sender, date and subject, but I need to be able to sort the folder summary by any of these three criteria. Each sort needs some special handling. It's also useful to be able to see if I've replied and/or forwarded the message.

The "out" or "sent" folder, of course, shows "To:" instead of "From:", so there is the added problem of sorting multiple recipient lists. I'd like to be able to see the same email summary header under each of the recipients, but only when I sort the summary based on "To:".

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    After reading the docs for Mail::Box, it looks like this is how the "Thread" packages work. Hopefully I'm right.

    This would be a good feature.

    Excellent feedback.

    Great ideas. All intuitively obvious, but best when planned for from the start.
