[MlMt] Threads and Sent Messages

[devynosborne at gmail.com]

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense.

I think, for me, that could work as long as I knew what I was looking 
for. Often, though, I’m revisiting an old conversation to see where we 
left off, who’s court the ball is in, or how much I need to pester 
someone.  ;-)  A lot of what I do is staying on top of other people 
and/or following up, and seeing the whole view of a conversation is very 
helpful.

Thanks for the tip re: clicking on header lines. I think that might come 
in handy.

And thanks again for sharing how you work; it helps inform my use 
(especially as long as I’m shifting email clients). I even read [this 
review](https://tyler.io/2020/04/additional-mailmate-tips/) in which he 
says MM broke him of his habit of looking in threaded views.  :-)
