Oops! Forgot to check for replies.
The viewing filters don't do what I want. There doesn't seem to be any way
of sorting on more than one criteria.
eg: in Outlook Express I'd first select the date column to sort all the
posts in date order then I'd select the watched/ignored column which would
sort the posts by watched/ignored but perform a secondary sort by date
order.
