Why can't I see posting when I set "Group Messages by Conversation"?

There is a thread that I can see (in pieces) when "Group Messages by
Conversation" is not set, but I cannot see it when "Group Messages
by Conversation" is set.
I assume I am doing something wrong. But what is it?
When messages are Grouped by Conversation, then ALL messages in that
conversation are show under only one message Subject. That will be
the earliest message still on the server.
Then, under that, if you click the + to the left, are all the unred
responses to the one showing on top. Since it's a group, all the
posts in the group are represented by only the one earliest one,
with the others rolled up under it.
But if messages are not grouped by conversation, then every message
is shown and there is no grouping of messages by the Subject Line to
show which ones are responses or later then the preceding one. You
see every message available to you all at the same time.
Grouped:
message 1 (shows in pane)
Click the + on the left and the following
message 2
message 3
message 4
and so on will roll down.
4 responds to 3, 3 to 2, 2 to 1, or whomever they decide they wish to
respond to.
Ungrouped:
Message 10
Message 4
Message 1
Message 8
Message 3
Message 6
Message 2
and so on. Here you can't really tell which messages are part of
one thread or stand on their own or what.
That help any?
Unfortunately, setting the flag on a message down inside a group,
doesn't flag earlier posts in that thred, nor anything earlier than
the message flagged by the user; only older message get the flag. I
think it's dumb too, since flagging every message would make the
entire group easier to find. I usually do that by using Edit; Find
and looking for the subject. HTH,

What messages are seen, depends on whether Hide unread messages is
selected. Lets assume that Show all messages is selected.
'earliest message still on the server' should be 'earliest message
still on the your computer'. Not all of the messages may have been
downloaded or some may have been deleted.
True.
