   I don't see the limitation just because OXP has a console screen.  80     
   chars across (or about 110 chars in my console) is lots of room!     
      
   T-bird doesn't seem to have a problem, and some of those ngs have quite a     
   few "levels".   Looks like OXP has lots of room to play with if it wanted     
   to.  I see that OXP indents the "tree" level every 4th char.  T-bird just     
   uses a 2-char offest.   
      
   Oh.. and Winpoint seems to do whole message area tree quite well.  It too     
   tries to be conservative with the indentation to make room for many sub-    
   levels.   
      
   It was just a thought.  Something for the wish-list.
