[Alpine-info] Trivia trick on big folders

When displaying this account folder, which is big, if I try to sort by 
threads (K-D), the operation takes too long and Alpine asks several times 
if I want to kill it.

A trick was to go to the first post, and then push the down cursor, hold 
it, and wait till I get to the bottom. Slow and boring.

I found a better method: go to the first post, and tell it to find a 
random string that I know does not exist, say 'kkkkkk'. It churns away for 
a long time, but at the end, Alpine has the entire folder in memory, and 
threading it is instantaneous :-)
