I don't understand; does right-clicking on the message automaticallly
pop up the full headers?

Again, for the third time in two days, a description of threading:

Look at this example:

Who            Subject                Date
====================================================
Bill           Threading              03/16/00 04:30
Tom            Re: Threading          03/16/00 12:15
Joe            Re: Threading          03/16/00 18:42
Frank          Re: Threading          03/17/00 00:17

Now the hard part...

We can guess that Tom responded to Bill.  Did Joe respond to Bill, or to
Tom?  Did Frank respond to Joe, or to Tom, or to Bill?

As the thread gets longer, did Frank respond to Joe's second response to
Bill, or to Bill's third response to Tom?  That's threading.  If you've
never used it you have no idea how much time it saves.  I put up with
all of Netscape's problems (for example, it indents headers in a crazy
looking format) because it threads so well.
