Timo,

  I have a patch for Pine that implements this idea for Pine by modifying 
the client, not the server. What it done is to sort by Arrival and by 
thread, then take the thread containing the last message in sort by 
arrival and put that thread in the bottom of the list, then remove both 
threads from both lists (threaded and by arrival) and repeat until we are 
done. I call this sort the thread by arrival.

  Replacing arrival sort by subject sort is also very useful, but it does 
not seem to be very useful for other sort methods (e.g. From, or size).

  You can find the patch in my web page (see below). Look for "Enhanced 
Fancy Thread Interface".
