It would need to let the user click and drag a message, highlighting the locations between the messages you pass over with a popup line, and then reading the headers of the message above where you let go the button, and using them to rewrite the headers so that the message will be correctly sorted, and then somehow pushing the updated message back to the IMAP server so it's sync'd for access from other devices in future. Mutt seems to do it right.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Here endeth the Lesson.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Peter</div><div dir="auto"><br></div> </div></body> </html>
