^AREPLY works so beautifully in WinPoint (2007) /Apoint (2001) /OpenXP (at
least since 2013).
In both Winpoint and Apoint, the "view thread" graphic tree opens above
the current message when requested.
In OpenXp the graphic tree is invoked with Ctrl-#.
The thread/tree makes it very nice to follow a conversation of interest,
or kill a branch of no interest.
It is a shame that messages without the kludge are not part of the visible
thread. Those messages can be anywhere in the timeline, and hard to
locate.
With messages lacking ^AREPLY we can only resort to the Subject - which
can be a nighmare especially when people don't bother to adjust the
Subject line when the topic changes. :( Case in point: "IC and 3 symbols
in msg" has gone on long enough! Argghhh. LOL
As far as I can tell TZUTC is well utilized in all 3.
Today's Fido progs can only *improve* with implementing both kludges to
make this experience less frustrating.
