Antonio> Agreed… Is Mailmate an option for you?
Never heard of it, will have to look into it. I'd be willing to change the iPhone mail reader for sure, the Apple one kinda sucks overall, especially for sorting and such. IMHO.

Yes, that's the thread. It looks like it's an Apple Mail client bug/feature/screwup. I hate it, since it messes up my main text based mail reader doing IMAP.
Maybe I need to move to Mutt finally. Ugh... re-programming my fingers for a new mail reader won't be fun at all.
