Yet I noticed it lacks a very simple view "show me the unthreaded 
messages in reverse chronological order".

I often work in that mode in NNTP (plain, not threaded, newest 
first) although I understand some might find that difficult to 
track.

Vladimir, is it possible to add that mode?


Thanks,

Andrei

 Cool! Yet I noticed it lacks a very simple view "show me the

Yes, but I need to think about the visual design. The table would 
need to include the subject, so it can't be a variation of the 
horizontal-split view... Perhaps an unthreaded variation of the 
"threaded" view, or a vertical-split mode that shows subjects and 
can toggle threading?

You're the doc; based on your work so far I trust your judgment. I'm 
hoping for a design that won't make me miss Thunderbird (e.g. list on 
top and/or right, body bottom and/or left, and one should see already 
read messages).

Yet another win for dfeed!  webnews also hangs up when the server is  
complaining.
