I don't know about tin, but with elm, it's that you go to the option menu, select s)ort, r)everse (actually, non-reverse then), and hit 4 times space, so the sort sequence will be by subject. Since it also sorts oldest mails first, this is somewhat like a News thread. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
