Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

In the News and in the Mail Client you have the possibility of Viewing just
Posts and Messages that are not Spam, from people you know, etc. 

But you also have the possibility to arrange Posts and Mails in a Tree Structure
like this: 

| Hi       |
|  Re: Hi  |
|   Re: Hi | (Spam)
|  Re: Hi  |

But this Tree Structure gets broken if you filter out some Messages. I think the
Structure should not get destroyed, just because you hide a message. In the
example above, i would appreciata a result like this:

| Hi       |
|  Re: Hi  |
|  Re: Hi  |

The one Spam Posting is just left out, but the Rest is still in the right structure.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Sort Threads with the same topic in one tree
2.Hide some messages by just viewing not junk messages
Actual Results:  
The Tree structure is broken. For Example:

|Hi    |
|Re: Hi|
|Re: Hi|

Expected Results:  
The Tree structure should not have been destroyed. Just the message matching the
filter criteria should have been hidden.

| Hi       |
|  Re: Hi  |
|  Re: Hi  |
