Thanks Milan,

What do other users think of this? If a threaded conversation is
collapsed and selected, which message should be displayed? I propose
that it should match the conversation sorting order ... if the
conversations are sorted with the most recent conversation first, then
the most recent message within the conversation should be shown. In all
other cases, the current functionality (show the oldest messages) would
remain. 

To the developers....is this a reasonable task for an experienced
programmer that knows nothing about evolution?
