gmail is free, reliable, feature filled and does threading very nicely in

Rumor has it that Zane H. Healy may have mentioned
these words:
Looking around for threaded mail readers I stumbled across
"Sweetmail" and it is starting to look like it might fit the bill for
doing this mail list. It has threading like my newsreader (Unison),
that works properly - for the most part - but I still haven't figured
out the bells and whistles. Need to find the command to display the
mesage pane for example...
Still this little freeware OS X (and earlier) Eudora 1.0 emulator
(Author a big fan of the original Eudora) looks like it might be just
what I need to handle large volume mail lists such as this one!

Mine are in whatever format Eudora uses with
"Old Style" TOC files.
TOC files are just "Table of Contents" files - extra personal
settings, like labels, etc. The actual mail is stored in the .mbx
files - gosh, rather looks like it might mean "mbox" maybe?

And... Rumor has it that John Robertson may have mentioned these words:
The biggest problem I have with the list is the
sheer volume of
messages. My mail reader is Eudora and I do wish it could treat
this list the same way that Agent or Unison treats newsgroup
messages - threads sorted by dates. Or is there a way that I am
missing buried in Eudora?
Overall, so do I, as it seems even Thunderchicken still can't do
that - it'll thread, but it won't reshuffle old threads with new
messages to the top/bottom of the stack; at least as far as I've
seen.
Eudora does have a handy little keyboard trick with the [alt] key:
If you hold [alt] ...
Speaking of mail - qmail 1.0 just turned 10 years old! It's not
"kewl" so it's still offtopic (most everyone's running 1.03 anyway
-- gosh - 3 minor updates in a decade! Why can't Microsoft do
that??? ;-) but just one of those little interesting (to me)
datapoints...
