Subject: [sup-talk] viewing threads oldest-first
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:01:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1205506459-sup-9596@chain.local> (raw)
Forgive me; I'm just getting started with sup and I'm trying to get
the hang of it, but I have not looked at the source yet, beyond a
cursory glance.
In every mailer I've used before my gmail days, I always viewed my
email oldest first, especially in any inboxen. Is there a config
option (I don't see a keyboard shortcut) to do this?
As I write this, I realize that oldest-first might mean different
things in a threaded view. Is that the oldest first message in the
thread, or the oldest last message? Do I generally want inbox threads
sorted by unread messages (that is, ordering by oldest unread message
in each thread)? I'm not sure I know the answer to either question,
but I'm sure I'd like to be able to try all the choices.
I will try to start digging in to the code in the next few days,
because I am interested in contributing and making this better, not
least of all for myself. In the meantime, can anyone give me a
pointer as to where in the code I might start digging regarding such a
feature?
FWIW, I was a long time mutt user but switched to gmail for search and
tagging. I missed a lot of things, and I generally felt less able to
deal with large numbers of email conversations on a daily basis, but I
lived with it because "just archive and search" (and to a lesser
extent, tagging) was killer.
I tried mutt+mairix for awhile, but it was kludgy and slow. sup looks
like it might be the best of both worlds, enabling me to deal with a
large volume of mail and still giving me the tagging and search that I
love from gmail. Thanks, William!
