[...] I'm sure that since this is so easy, someone who knows the code will be happy to post the hacks. So in other words, we're all your slaves and we have to immediately drop what we're doing and tend to your trivial problem? I'm glad to know you're so damned important.

I bet you'd spend usenet bandwidth correcting someone's spelling too! ;-). No, you were making a common mistake in thinking that VM sorted by date and I pointed out that this capability does not exist. 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! It is not sorting BY DATE. Anyone care to post a hack, instead of a semantic critique of the request? 8) I suggest that no one help this incredibly rude and insulting person. -- Joe Wells <jbw@cs.bu.edu>
