Option already available?
Authored by: alexmathew on Jun 15, '04 04:18:15PM

In my Mail (10.2.8) I have an option in Preferences>Viewing
to highlight thread of selected message. How is this different?
Viewing messages in a thread
A "message thread" is the chain of replies in a series of messages. Mail can help you quickly identify all of the messages in a thread without having to sort or change your current view of your mailboxes.

Again... this doesn't merely group or colorcode messages with the same subject.

This highlights (or acts upon however you choose) messages that are in response to messages that **you personally** are involved in.

True... for most people this is equivalent to the thread-grouping feature.

However, if you use Mail for a LISTSERV, where several threads may be coming in that you aren't a part of, this hint helps to differentiate.
