When you display the columns SUBJECT, DATE and FROM in this order in the menu, there's no blank between the date and the From- information. This looks a bit ugly. In fact, in the standard display (FROM, TO, DATE and SUBJECT), there isn't a blank between date and subject either, but since the subject starts with either a blank or an asterisk, there is sort of a separation between these two. 2. When you sort according to subjects, the resulting sequence will be eg "*A", " A", "*B", " B" etc., which is quite ok. Now consider, subject "A" came up twice, ie your notebook contains messages " A" and "*A" dating from yesterday and today respectively, and messages " A" and "*A" dating a month back. Then sorting for subject and date would yield "*A", "*A", " A", " A" and not "*A", " A", "*A", " A" which would be rather more useful. Could this easily be changed?
