Subject: OrderedSubj / .pinerc

Firstly, a question: 

	What does sorting by OrderedSubj do? I can't work that one out. 

Secondly, a recommendation (well, just sommat I've noticed, really): 

	How about if .pinerc actually reflected compile-time options you
set. e.g., from my .pinerc: 

# Default: "default-fcc" (see also "default-fcc=" variable.)
fcc-name-rule=

Only it isn't. Default is "". Because I set it that way when I compiled
Pine. So I just thought maybe .pinerc should say: Default: ""

Sorting by "ordered subject" does a grouping intended to simulate a
"threaded" sort, and then presents each "thread" in order of the date
of the first message in the group.  Reverse simply reverses whatever the
current sort order is.

First it sorts by subject, then it sorts the groups of messages with the 
same subject by the date of the oldest message in the group.  So it is 
the same as sort by subject except that the new "threads" are later in 
the index than the old "threads".

This makes sense but probably isn't worth changing at this point.  It 
used to be that people looked at their pinerc files and edited them but 
now most people change configs with the Setup/Config screen.
