Hi Peter,

Only used it for a short time so far, but it looks good for me.  First  
few mailboxes seemed threaded on opening (mbox and maildir).  Found one  
mailbox not initially threaded (JWX with date ascending sort) but the  
threading was there after closing and relaunching Balsa (caching?).  I  
wont have much time to play with it more carefully until next week.
