I posted this query several months ago, and, as I recall, got a reply
to the effect that version 6.4.18 had some feature that is relevant,
but, having just installed that version, I can't find it.

I find that (using the default "subject" sorting order) the order of articles
within each subject is essentially random, as far as I can tell.  I would
expect articles in each group to be sorted by arrival order.  Can someone
tell me how to achieve the desired effect?  (I've read the FAQ, and don't
see anything in it on this subject.)  I think the feature that I was referred
to previously was something about getting one line for each subject, which
is not really what I want - I want to be able to see one line for each
article, but just to have them appear in a meaningful order, so that I'm
not reading replies to articles I haven't yet read.

Thanks in advance.

Gary
