I know my english is bad, but I hope 'zoom' is a correct word, I did build
many programs that did have a '5' or 'z' option to zoom in :-)

My suggestion is: Create a other view on the messages, with one line
for every subject. When you click (zoom in) on a subject you will see the
hole subject tread.

I think the problem is that there are to many messages not that there are
to many subjects.

If you replace my sugestion for the next column in this new view
"New message(s) since last zoom"
with
"New message(s) since last CCC session"
then the CCC database must only store 1 timestamp and not
a timestamp for every subject for every userid.

Greetings, Herbert
