    If I order by size, the newly created message will appear at a different
place.  It's obvious from the programming point of view, but not very much for
the user.  The previous bug make me create lots of copies with deleted
attachments before noticing the message was indeed in another place.  Is it
possible to keep the message at an "invalid" order, just until a user commanded
reordering occur?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "create" a message with big attachements
2. "create" some small and medium messages
3. order by size
3. delete the attachments from the big message

Actual Results:  
The newly created message with "delete attachments" appears in another position
i the mail list window.

Expected Results:  
Keep the message with "delete attachments" at the same position of the original
message, to avoid user confusion.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
