I dont currently think it is possible to sort the

number of replies.

Do mean the total number of messages in a thread or just first
level replies to a message.  Does M1-1-1 count for M1?

Yes that would be nice.


I believe it is possible, but requires code additions/changes.
Also, generation of the index may be slower since extra processing
is needed to determing reply counts.

I would think that it requires an option flag for this
- if the flag (with a filename) is given then this is
generated.

How come that it takes more (you are right) - actually
it is very close to the threaded index-file, however
the lumps of replies are sorted differently.

(Need I say that I am proud of your work - our LUG has
used MHonArc for years. Very good program!!!)
