Hi "104624.2404 at compuserve.com",

your patch looks fine, thanks!

Your patch is against KMail 1, which is in a total feature freeze. New features
like in this patch can't be added to KMail 1.

All new features should only be added to KMail 2, which is being developed in
trunk. Can you change your patch so that it is based on trunk? That would be
good, since that's the only way your patch can make it into KDE.

There are some changes in KMail 2, for example KMMsgInfo and the binary index
for it no longer exist, so the patch needs some adjustments.

Please use reviewboard.kde.org the next time, see a more detailed description
on http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Send_Patches. Patches attached to bug
reports tend to get lost :)

On a side note: Older KMail version implemented sorting by the order of arrival
by simply using the serial number (which is the Akonadi Item Id now) as sort
criteria. Also, older versions didn't have an additional column for sorting by
order of arrival, instead you could sort by that just by clicking on the date
header in the message list several times. I don't know which is the better way
from a usability POV, your solution is also fine.
