No, it still looks all screwed up. Which is a huge shame. Even with .95.
The even more annoying problem is its always loosing headers (as someone

Why is it just acting badly since the last stable release?

It does have the option in filters, erm, but it doesn't work. I post a
message, I read it, a day later and no other replies, I can't see the
message.

Shame, but I can always write a little app to organise the files once they
are 2 months old myself.

Great, how long is that dream away? Should be interesting on windows, a
great backend but still can't see the messages?
