229553 - No sort-by-thread for custom-filtered messages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 135326

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

Can't apply threads view and message filter at the same time.
"View -> Threads -> [All/Unread/...]" works like "hidden filter" overrided the
moment another filter is selected like "View -> Messages -> custom filter",
while there is no way to create custom sort-by-thread filters (nor would it be
desirable)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter newsgroup
2. View -> Messages -> some custom filter
3. View -> Sort by -> Thread

Actual Results:  
Nothing ("View -> Sort by -> Thread" is disabled)

Expected Results:  
Should "sort by thread" only the messages filtered through custom filter.

Thread sorting should work as separate layer of "display filter", fed with
messages AFTER applying "View -> Messages" filters.

Somehow relates to bug 73562 (proposed solution would render it redundant. would
be no need for "View -> Threads -> Threads with Unread". "View -> Messages ->
Unread + View -> Sort by -> Thread" whould be enough)
