What I see in folderlist.xml is that email folders are listed
alphabetically, including Inbox, trash, etc. - subfolders follow main
ones - while newsgroups are in order of initial subscription, not
alphabetically as they are seen on screen.  Makes me wonder if there's
another file or some background setting controlling what we see on
screen.
