KMail contains 3 columns by default, and by default the sorting is done on the 
folder tree.

Because the folder tree is about 15 times as wide as either of the other two 
columns ( unread and total ), the list view looks *very* weird... about 75% 
of it is grey, the rest is white. 

You see the exact same thing in KNode, and other multi-column trees.

Maybe this should be disabled whenever a listview is a tree - it looks very 
strange in a tree.

Unless someone explicitly told me so ( as they did on this list ) that this 
was because it was the column I was sorting by, there is no way I would have 
ever surmised this.

My main gripe with it is that it is certainly not something that people are 
used to with list views, at all. On any major platform, in any major widget 
set, the sort column in a list view is inidicated in the top column bar - it 
is not shaded throughout the whole widget.

I still think that the option itself is OK - but it should not be default to 
on. It is too unusual.
