Columns setup, A message I have sent to Ritlabs
 
I have sent this to Ritlabs. Is anyone else finding this to be a problem?

Quote: The bug description: Well, I'm not entirely sure whether or not this is a
 bug,  but if not, it's something that could be improved (IMHO) with a bit
 more  thought  (possibly only with minor tweaking). It's the resetting of
 columns (widths, order, visibility) without any or proper warning.

 Steps  to  reproduce the bug: This always happens when changing threading
 options. It also sometimes happens at other times (I have found that when
 making  changes to one particular view, another has changed unexpectedly,
 but I cannot remember all the steps I took for this to happen).

 Suggestion  (if  not  a  bug): Enable the user to lock views so that they
 cannot be changed without first unlocking.

 Reason:  It's  very  frustrating  spending time and effort to set up your
 favourite views, only to find they have changed unexpectedly.

Column settings are dependant on the selected threading, whether that's a bug or a feature depends on your point of view, I go for the latter.

The way to keep this from happening is with view modes, you can define view modes assign them to certain folders while other folders get different view modes.

You can play with view modes from:
Options -> Preferences -> Messages -> View modes

You can also access them from:
Folder -> Folder view mode -> Manage view modes

I have view modes set up, but I have still managed to lose some of my settings or accidentally change something I didn't want to.
