I'd be interested in what client you use for that.  The MS idea of threaded
email is horribly broken. --> It will only sort the email alphabetically by
the subject.  Gmail at least sorts the threaded messages by date!  Since I
am forced to use windoze at work It has to be a client that works with that
OS.  I found gmail running in chromium to be my least objectionable
alternative.
