Fine! "Group by date sent..." Jeez! I bet you'd spend usenet bandwidth
correcting someone's spelling too! ;-).

When a package consistently moves one particular message to the "bottom" of my
INBOX because the day field of the date says 08 instead of 8, I tend to call
that sorting. Mea culpa!

I'd like group-by-date-sent to group by equivalent dates, not identical dates.

Anyone care to post a hack, instead of a semantic critique of the request? 8)
