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.
