"Ron Sommer" wrote in message
"Twayne" wrote in message ... "WhatsUp31415" wrote in message 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, Twayne` 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. |
