New description:
This has been bothering me for a while, and I think I have finally
characterised the behaviour.
Enter a mail folder in threaded view using:
{{{
set sort=reverse-threads
set sort_aux=last-date
}}}
I use maildirs, but I believe the behaviour is related to the sorting,
not the mail folder format.
Find a thread whose message dates span the date of some other
messages outside the thread. Choose one of those outside messages.
Delete the later messages from the thread until it no longer spans
the chosen outside message. Position the cursor on one of the
remaining messages in the thread. Type `$` (well, do a sync).
The mailbox gets reordered. The cursor seems to remain at the same
linear position in the index (thus on a different message). This
is not desirable behaviour. It should remain on the same message
it was on before the sync.
This does leave open the behaviour when the cursor points at a
deleted message. Personally I would choose to have the cursor move
to the "next undeleted" message before the sync.
