TkRat: Sort per folder?

I checked again and have to correct myself: There is no perceptible
performance difference between threaded and natural order on my system.
(Client is a 400MHz box, folders are IMAP served from an old notebook.
When I was using older versions of TkRat on a 66MHz box with mbox
folders, natural order used to be a bit faster than others.)

So as I said, I do not use sort-per-folder anymore. All folders are
switched to the default sort order, which happens to be threaded order.
I have all incoming messages delivered into a single inbox (except for a
separate spam inbox) and then move messages manually after reading into
thematically different folders --- therefore I have no need for
sort-per-folder. Clearly, people who have their incoming mail
automatically delivered into "themed" folders _before reading_ will
prefer different default sort orders per folder.
