Description Alessandro Suardi 2001-11-11 22:36:58 UTC
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
