following a mail thread breaks date ordering

Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: I'd expect threaded message to behave like they do in Netscape Mail; that is, when (being my messages threaded and ordered by date) I read first message in a thread, delete it (and hence automagically go to the next one in the thread) and so on, when I'm done with the thread I am put on the first message logically following the first one of the thread I've been through. A small example follows, with only pseudo-fields of author, subject and date sent: Joe Coming to lunch ? 12:00 Jill Re: Coming to lunch ? 12:10 Jack Re: Coming to lunch ? 12:20 Beth Marketing news 12:05 Roger Meeting at 2pm 12:15 Mary Bug in socket.c 12:25 If I go through the "Coming to lunch" thread, whose last message is at 12:20, what Evolution does is position me on Mary's message. What I would like to see is to be positioned on Beth's message. Netscape Mail does it this way and is IMHO correct. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Have threaded message list 2. Have messages sorted by date 3. follow a thread deleting messages one by one Actual Results: You end up on the first message after last of thread Expected Results: You end up on the first message after first of thread How often does this happen? always Additional Information: full explanation above
