'Read next unread' and 'Delete message' behave badly in threaded folders
Last modified: 2002-05-14 15:19:22 UTC
Description: When reading messages, one often wants to delete messages and/or travel to the next unread message. This works fine in normal folders. However in threaded folders, 'next unread' and 'delete' go to unpredictable messages. Specifically, they seem to be travelling in the order of the date, even though that is *not* the order of the thread. I have had the following happen: N msg 0 msg 1 N \msg 2 msg 3 N msg 4 I read msg 0. I then pres 'n' (goto next unread message). This jumps to msg 4, not to msg 2. That is counterintuitive and completely violates the principle of least surprise. This also seems to happen sometimes with '^d' (Delete). Hmm. I wonder if this is the result of 'Hide deleted messages' confusing ETree. I'll look at that, but certainly the 'next unread' issue wouldn't be that. Platform: Debian Sid Latest Evolution package 1.0.3-3
