Threaded view through Entourage 2008???

[Andrew J. Yon IV]

I use this for my school since I am dealing with mostly windows junkies,
I have learned to deal with word and PowerPoint again. I had gotten used to
using several other applications, including thunderbird, and was used to
being able to view the messages in a threaded format. Is there a way to do
that in entourage?

It is kind of difficult keeping track of who is responding to whom or what
posting in an environment where people don¹t always change the title of the
message to show their response. (75 posts: of Week 1 Discussion Question 1 =
no clue as to who is saying what to who)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Andrew,

Entourage does not have a threaded view, at least not the same threaded view
which you can find in Thunderbird. In Entourage, you can use groups to
regroup messages based on a certain criterion, such as the sender or the
subject line. To do that, click on View>Arrange By>Show in Groups. Click on
that same "Arrange By" menu once again and choose which criterion you would
like to use ("Subject", based on what you have written in your post). Keep
in mind that this is by no means an intelligent regrouping; any message that
has the same subject line will show up in that group, whether it is related
to a specific discussion or not at all.

You might also want to know that you can create custom arrangements if you
are not happy with the default settings that come with Entourage; check the
Entourage help function for an article called "Group, sort, and filter
items".

Thank you Michael,

That answered my question and helps a little. I think I will go back to
using thunderbird and use entourage for working on the projects only.
