Uh, oh, another merry-go-round. You are saying that very few users can debug the code of others, right? For some number of users M, there will only be...

I thought it was remarkedly similar to OE in how it worked, which was indeed a lot better than other non-MS OE mail readers that I have tried. What I liked about OE was the threading and ability to filter on threads that had my posts in them, making it easy to see where there might be a response without having to read through the breastles of all the other tripe in this forum.

The source tree panel can be dismissed by sizing it to zero width, but that is not the expected way to do that. There should be a modal menu selection to show or hide the tree. That is a bug in terms of the Windows logo style guides.
Custom filtering seems to break and just dismiss all the posts rather than the structure I choose.
