This will be the default sorting method in 6.4 (aka 6.3.12) thanks to
fixes provided by Wayne Davison.

The following orderings will be available:

subject		Subject thread order (default)
lexical		Subject lexical order (6.3 method)
sender		Sender lexical order, and in "date" order for each sender.
date		Posting date (and time)
arrival		Receive date (actually article numbers)
