Subject: [sup-talk] ignore replies when calculating thread date

Hi all,
Is there an option to ignore replies when calculating the date of a thread?  I would like it if replying to a thread did not bump it to the top of the index.

Cheers,
Steve

I meant your second interpretation: keep the same order, but not have
*my* sent messages enter into the date calculation.  Maybe it would be
possible to create a "latest_received_message" and use that in the sort
key.

Maybe this will get me to learn a little Ruby...
