Understood.  It's not too annoying when reading news since I rarely have
more than a screenful of summary for any given group, but it can get
confusing when looking at archives: a recently updated subthread can be
hidden several screens up because a sibling subthread is too old…

I'll file this one under "don't hack on this unless I can spend a couple
of days on it".  Thanks a lot for taking the time to pinpoint where the
issue lies, that's really helpful!
