>>The old way, with a maximum of 50 messages, presented a problem if you wanted to continue reading the thread, although I must say I missed it a lot when you took it out, This method is better. Congrats.

>Not quite sure I like it. In a big and branched out thread, the old way allowed you to follow the branch. The new way gets you all the messages from the whole tree, which arrived after the message where you clicked for 20 more. Actually, 19, because that message is there too - not too bad for continuity, but the continuity is linear, across the thread, not down-the-tree-from-this-point as it used to be. Could be a limitation of the VfpOleDb. Actually, I think we're watching history being made; this is a rare occasion when a move from VFP to dot-net is made while staying with DBFs, and before moving to SQL. Usually you'd do it in the reverse order.

I see what you mean. That means there are two "use cases" for Michel to take into account. The one you mention, namely following a branch and the other catching up with 100% of a thread.
