Description Joe Biden 2008-12-05 07:46:54 UTC 
Version:           1.10.90 (using 4.1.80 (KDE 4.1.80 (KDE 4.2 Beta1)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-4-generic

Why the heck was my message list "threaded" with this horrid Group Sort rubbish when I had no inkling of that setup in 4.1.x Kmail??? What a horrible default to spring on someone! 

Please, for the love of all that's holy, simplify those default settings and ditch the buttons on top of the message list! WAAAAAY too complicated.

Thank you for this interesting feedback.

You probably missed the buttons that will allow you to change the way your messages are displayed. Unfortunately, we cannot make them bigger so that you can't miss them.
Comment 2 Joe Biden 2008-12-05 15:35:56 UTC 
Nope, didn't miss them. Took me half an hour digging through the settings to go back to the way I've had it configured for umpteen  versions. My point was why did my settings change so drastically to something I cannot imagine most people would want at all?
Comment 3 Jaime Torres 2008-12-05 15:46:03 UTC 
Because you are trying a kmail version still in development?
Comment 4 Joe Biden 2008-12-05 15:51:46 UTC 
Touche. Ok, as long as it's a smoother transition for the next guy like me, I guess is all I'm after.
