It takes *open* MAILxIDX.XRS and SUMMARYx.XRS files and sorts them by date
within subject within AREA: and rewrites the two files. It also rechains
the threading pointers completely, and even adds them if there were none!
IT DOES NOT WORK WITH ANY VERSION OF XRS BEFORE 4.52! (SINCE IT REARRANGES
MAILxIDX.XRS AND SUMMARYx.XRS FILES, IT MAKES THEM UNUSABLE BY PRE-4.52!)
This can be made the 'default' by using the new "PreProcess XRS-Sort.Exe"
parameter. See "CONFIG.NEW" and/or "NEWIN452.DOC" for exact details. If
you like threading and want XRS to follow threads by default (i.e. after
quoting, etc), this should be used instead of "Sort Subject" since XRS
defaults to reading the next message in the current filter selection (i.e.
"To You" and/or "New Only" and/or "Select Area"). If you do enable this
parameter "Sort Subject" is obsolete - *remove* it from your CONFIG.XRS!
The current method will only sort a mailbag if it contains 7500 messages
or less! (sometimes less if you have less memory available).
You *should* end up with a mailbag that is fully sorted by subject within
each area, complete with threading, and the "<N>ext" default movement will
always take you to the next message in the thread or the next topic...
I could add other sort sequences - if anyone has suggestions, please ask!
