You didn't look through this lot very thoroughly.

Of course I did.

If you do you will find each news reader has a different idea of when you changed the subject line.

Nope.

Thunderbird After Sandman's article of 2014-4-20

Not "after". I correctly displays that when I posted a followup to the thread at 2014-04-21 02:21, I changed the subject of the post, while displaying it at its correct place in the thread.

Unison After Sandman's article of 2014-4-20

Same here. 2014-04-21.

slrn After Tony Cooper's article of ??

Same here, only slrn doesn't display dates. And the post highlighted is the same exact post of mine as in the other screenshots.

tin After Tony Cooper's article of ??

Same here.

pan After Tony Cooper's article of Apr 18 (2014)

Incorrect. Pan correctly shows that I changed the subject at "Apr 21 2:21 AM", not Apr 18.

Knews After Tony Cooper's article of ??

You know what, knews' display is a bit messy, but its thread view isn't very clear. I've uploaded a new screenshot that clearly displays how the post from me at 2014-04-21 is displayed correctly inline in the thread:

mtnewswatcher After Tony Cooper's article of 4/18/14

The highlighted thread is mine, and the date is 4/21/2014.

Google Groups After Sandman's article of ??

My article on Apr 21, it is displayed nicely to the right.

You seem to be confused by the *ordering* of articles. This is a *threaded* view, with indentation. If a post is under and indented one step, it is in reply to that post. You are in reference to the preceeding article in the list, which is NOT a chronological view at all.

Even allowing for the clipping of your screenshots there doesn't appear to much concensus in this lot.

There is 100% consensus.

Is this the kind of agreement upon which you decide what is standard?

It is indeed.
