Description Karl Ove Hufthammer 2009-06-07 10:08:22 UTC 
Version:           0.99.01 (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), Mandriva Linux release 2009.1 (Official) for i586)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.29.3-desktop-1mnb

Knode currently uses a ‘References: 1 2 3 4 ...’ line to show links to parents of a message in a thread. I propose using thread arcs instead:

This has the advantage that it can show the entire thread, not just parents, and is very easy and intuitive to read.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
