Threaded View

Win XP HE
Hi,
To have a properly threaded view in newsgroups (or in email if using the
same folder for incoming and outgoing), what is the proper View setting?
Right now, I have View|Sort By|Order Received|Threaded (this setting I
believe was the default setting).
I am wondering if it would not be more correct to have View|Sort
By|*Subject*|Threaded.
However, I have tried to switch back and forth but did not notice any
difference, perhaps because "threaded" takes priority over the Subject,
Order Received, etc.?

Message sorting and Threading are two different thing.
Messages are shown in threaded view depending on 'In-Reply-To:' in the
their message header.
Now sorting determines how those 'Threads' will be displayed, more
simply , message under thread will remain intact but thread position in
message list pane will depend on sorting type .

Nir, I'm not sure I'm getting this.
You are saying that using either sorting by subject or order received
(as described in original post) will *not* affect threading but only the
position of the thread in the pane?
Is that correct?

( As far I know ) yes.
Threading depends only on 'In-Reply-To:'
Sorting of thread in message list pane depends only on the setting that
user has chosen at View > Sort
Please note that there are some bugs exist ( as far I can remember some
one has reported it in a reply in a thread ) that in threading mechanism
