Details

Using dec15 commercial builds on linux 6.0, mac OS 8.5.1 and NT 4.0 When using Next Message or Next Unread message in a folder sorted by thread, the navigation will skip to the next parent message in a new thread. This happens regardless of whether the thread appears in a collapsed or expanded state. Simple case: 1. Launch to mail window, select a populated mail folder or news group having threads with replies (so you can see the effect of sorting by thread). 2. Sort by thread (use the thread column header/icon -- menu item not engaged). Threads with more than one message (i.e. threads having replies) will appear collapsed with twistie. 3. Open a collapsed thread (but not the last thread in the folder) and select the top level message. Do a Go|Next Message. Result: selection skips to the top level message in the next thread. Expected result: selection should move to the next message in the thread selected in step #3, a child/reply of the parent message. Note: There are many combinations to test here, I've just provided steps for the simplest case using next message.

I just checked in the fix. The Next Msg button as well as Go/Next Message Go/Next Unread Message and Go/Next Flagged Message all work in thread views. The previous menu items do not work.

Linux Redhat 6.0 (1999-12-22-08 M13) Win_nt 4.0 (1999-12-22-09 M13) Mac (1999-12-22-08 M13) I try this in POP, IMAP and Newsgroup, with both collapsed and uncollapsed threads scenarios on all 3 platforms. Navigating using the following works great. The Next Msg button, Go/Next Message Go/Next Unread Message and Go/Next Flagged Message all work in thread views.
