- Hi,
-
- I've been using ELM for a number of years now and have found it to be a
- very flexible and useful piece of software.
-
- There is one feature that I think is still a little "behind the times".
- The folder sorting hierarchy needs to have differing modes for differing
- folders. Let me explain this a little clearer. My incoming mailbox should
- be sorted in "Mailbox" order since I will want to read the messages that
- first arrived first. However, when looking at my received and sent folders
- the "Reverse-Sent" mode would make a lot more sense, since I am far more
- likely to want to examine the most recent additions first. This capability,
- as far as I can see, does not exist in ELM and should be added at the next
- PL.
-
- Just my $0.02 worth.
