For my use, I want to be able to look at conversations in the order
that they're happening so I can cherry pick which portions of the
conversation to forward and which to reject. Seeing the messages
grouped by address doesn't help me so much. I can see wanting the
existing view sometimes, but when I want "sorted by time", I want
purely sorted by time so I can figure out what to forward and what
not to.

It is potentially possible that optionally sorting by subject and then
by time might be cool, but I really don't need that and sometimes it
might get annoying. Simplest is best for my use case.
