Hi All,

I backup threads I'm interested in (usually the ones I initiated) by copying
them into shadow user folders I created in OE. Despite the fact that my
approach doesn't preserve the thread structure,
....


The View options you get in a local folder are the ones that you are using
in your Inbox. Chances are that you don't use View Group messages by
conversation there so that may be why you are assuming that you lose
threading. You just have to enable it (e.g. press Alt-V,V,G).

Alternatively, you could leave that option alone (so you don't accidentally
confuse yourself with other Local folders eg)
and use Find Message (e.g. Ctrl-Shift-F,Alt-o,F4,Enter,Enter)
and then use Alt-V,V,G in it. That option is reset each time you do a Find
so there would be significantly less chance of confusion that way.
