I use mutt [1]. An useful option for muttrc is

    set sort = threads

my muttrc without italian comments is:

# ~/.mutt/muttrc

set folder = "~/.mutt/Mail"
set from = "Gallo Dice <la@email-addr-hidden>"
set alias_file = "~/.mutt/aliases"
source "~/.mutt/aliases"
set reverse_alias = yes
set postponed = "+da_spedire"
set record = "+spediti/spediti_`date +%Y%m`"
set copy = yes
set fcc_attach = no
set reply_to = ask-yes
set recall = ask-no
set mime_forward = ask-no
set ispell = "/usr/bin/aspell --mode=email check --lang=it_IT"
set sort = threads
set pager_index_lines = 7
set pager_stop = yes
set pager_context = 2
ignore *
unignore Date: From: To: Subject:
