Re: Reading Posts in an ordered way

Don't you have an option to view e-mail by thread?  I haven't looked at
Netscape 7.0 in a long time, but you used to have a button to view e-mail
by thread in Netscape.

I haven't used Netscape in a long time.  I usually use PINE (text-only
client on a Unix machine) to view e-mail and it has the ability to sort
e-mails by thread, which works perfectly for reading these messages.

Most of Netscape is based on Mozilla. I do have a copy of Mozilla, and I
can view e-mail by thread by clicking on the "view message threads"
button.  This button is located just above the box where the message
subjects are displayed.

It's just to the left of the headings for "Subject" "Sender" "Date"
"Priority", etc.

I think that by default, Netscape sorts messages based on the order that
they are received -- not the order they were sent.  So, unless I'm
mistaken, time zone isn't a factor because the time is always from your
computer.

You can change the way they are sorted, however.
