Well I misspoke - we were sorting search results (other than by  
thread).  However, this is totally broken behavior because it  
completely breaks search display in every interface BUT imp.  e.g. in  
dimp, sorting appears to be totally random.

This is NOT going to work.  I don't care what we have done in the  
past, but this isn't going to fly.  We either need to to abandon ALL  
sorting in the search views or implement client side sorting.

And in imp, we need to get rid of the mailbox headers separating the  
various search mailbox results.  This is entirely inconsistent with  
the way we display search results in the other views.  Mailboxes  
should be irrelevant in search results - the messages are all that  
matters.
