Threading: I have many local folders and subfolders. May of them, especially recently created, show messages as threaded. This is counter-productive for me. I cannot find a way to turn off threads. The online help file appears to be for a previous version and does not help me.

Looking for suggestions.

Ver 102 was released with threaded view the default. There is a config setting you can change, but I think it only affects new folders, so it's not a good solution, but may help. The entry is: 

mailnews.default_view_flags   set to 0 for normal view. 1 is for threaded view.

That works OK. For a few recent folders, after changing the setting I created a new folder and simply moved the messages over. Now un-threaded. Thanks for the help.
