Description Steven M. Castellotti 2001-07-23 13:58:13 UTC 
If I turn on the "Threaded Message List" feature, and then use the "Date"
tab to sort messages by date, start with the first message and start
hitting "Delete", the messages will not stay in the same order - The
selected message will jump down, past a few messages, and then when I
delete that, it will jump back up, and so on. Hit delete a few times in a
row to see what I mean. This mainly seems to happen when deleting the first
message in a thread.

I checked out Netscape Communicator, and it handles this issue by
setting the next message in the thread to be leading message, and
groups the remaining messages underneath the new leading message,
without modifying the order of the threaded messages. This provides
for a much smoother experience.

isn't this an ETree bug?
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2001-07-25 22:03:55 UTC 
No ETree just groups them the way the mailer tells it to
Comment 4 Steven M. Castellotti 2001-08-03 15:32:08 UTC 
Checking out the status of this bug in Beta2 (0.12), I noticed that
the problem only occurs if "Hide Deleted Messages" is selected. If
"Hide Deleted Messages" is not selected, the tree is not re-sorted,
and thus the messages do not appear to jump around.
Comment 5 michael.gerdts 2001-08-08 16:23:55 UTC 
It would be nice if it would keep the sort order the same until
messages are expunged or a new sort is specifically requested.

As it is, it is terribly annoying to be reading mail in threaded mode
with hidden deleted messages.  As you use ^D to delete messages,
eventually you tend to be at the very last message in the mailbox and
end up reading the remaining threads in reverse order.

Weird. bug 203737 indicates that I've marked this bug as a
duplicate of it, but this bug says nothing about that.
