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!  <G>

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.
