User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090630 Fedora/3.5-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090707 Shredder/3.0b3pre I have my main IMAP account set up to file sent messages in the folder of the message being replied to. I also have it set up to show messages sorted by date. It seems that Thunderbird 3 will resort messages automatically as they come in, which is great, except that in this case it means that when I reply to a thread it immediately moves to the bottom of my message pane, so I have to search up the list to find where I was before. I think that the dynamic sort shouldn't move the current message/thread; it should wait until I move to another thread. Reproducible: Always
Sort by Received/Order Received ignore my replies, so they are a fine workaround.
