Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify my previous message — I wasn’t suggesting that the authors are literally named “by author.” I was referring to the way the interface presents the message list, where the column headers (e.g., “Subject,” “Author,” “Date”) might give the impression that the sorting is ambiguous or inconsistent depending on the view.

I understand the UX may be intentionally minimalistic, but I was trying to point out a potential source of confusion for new users. No trolling intended — just trying to improve clarity.

Best regards,  
Jerome

Given their previous message, Jerome is clearly trolling. Ignore them.
