Re: [Evolution] "Unread threads" view suggestion.

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Well this feature, or at least somethng that would make this feature
feasable has been contemplated before.  Might even be a bug in the back

vfolder/search on thread was the issue.

Personally i just switch to unthreaded mode and goto the bottom of the
list, or just ignore all those high traffic lists - its usually just
flames anyway !
