+Here is a feature that I could really use some times... \r
+\r
+Instead of sorting the threads based on the date of the first message in\r
+the thread, sort them based on the newest message in the thread. So if I\r
+take a quick look at the bottom (I am an "oldest first" kinda person) of\r
+a search and I see all the threads that have the newest messages.\r
+\r
+My suggestion would be to turn 'o' into a two key command:\r
+\r
+o-o : oldest first, sort by oldest message in thread\r
+o-O : oldest first, sort by newest message in thread\r
+o-n : newest first, sort by oldest message in thread\r
+o-N : newest first, sort by newest message in thread\r
+o-s : sort by subject?\r
+o-z : unthreaded, sort by message size?\r
+\r
+you can come up with many more sort ideas...\r
