In 2013, one of the develors said: "At one time Balsa would rethread on every mailbox change, and it was intrusive, so it was decided to defer it; evidently, it's now deferred too long! One issue is that it's difficult to rethread in a sub-thread because of the display interactions. We need to revisit that." I think it simply hasn't been revisited yet. Not sure how to push it higher on the list, unless one of the developers happens to be interested.Well, I guess replacing libesmtp is more important right now -- that concerns core functionality, the sorting is a minor issue in this light.
Well, the libesmtp replacement is in for testing... I'm not sure if it's really complete, but at least I got no complaints yet. It will be *really* helpful if you check the latest git code and give feedback, about both the smtp functionality and the changed config gui. And I fully agree with you that the broken sorting/threading is really annoying, and should be fixed! Such an important issue being postponed for 3 or 4 years is not acceptable.
I'm sure patches would be welcome, but it's a bit beyond my abilities.Beyond mine, too, I'm afraid. Getting new versions and complaining (i.e. writing bug reports) is what I could do. :-)
For me too. I didn't write the code, and I don't know who actually added (or disabled) it. Maybe Peter knows more? Peter, are you listening? Cheers, Albrecht.
