Yes, I agree. I like to keep my threads in order too, but I turned off
threading because the very problem of which you speak annoyed me too
much. I'll try to help the folks out who do use the threading, though.

I couldn't figure it out, so I posted it here to see if people more
knowledgable in the ways of Newton could figure it out. I guess I will
have to play around with it a bit. Wouldn't your suggestion only work
for IMAP though? Or an arrangement where messages deleted from my
desktop are then deleted (and not downloaded on to my Newton)? I don't
have it set up this way. I read all my mail on my home, work, and
Newton.
Thanks,
Tom
