User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090630 Fedora/3.5-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5

I have my main IMAP account set up to file sent messages in the folder of the message being replied to.  I also have it set up to show messages sorted by date.  It seems that Thunderbird 3 will resort messages automatically as they come in, which is great, except that in this case it means that when I reply to a thread it immediately moves to the bottom of my message pane, so I have to search up the list to find where I was before.

I think that the dynamic sort shouldn't move the current message/thread; it should wait until I move to another thread.

Reproducible: Always

Sort by Received/Order Received ignore my replies, so they are a fine workaround.

Rephrasing bug summary per comment #0, morphing into RFE.

Confirming RFE; no idea whether this is wanted or not, though.
