[sup-talk] Possibility of missing messages in a thread?

[Philipp <hollunder@lavabit.com>]

This is just a suspicion I want to have confirmed.
Imagine an active mailinglist thread, messages might arrive every
minute. Imagine long-ish messages where it takes you minutes to reply.
Imagine you answer to one of those messages, it takes you 5 minutes and
say two new messages arrived in this thread the meantime.
When do you get to see them?

When I answer a message I write the answer in vim, save it, send the
message and get back to sup's view of that particular message. Then I
hit 'x' and usually 'a' to get back to the thread overview.

At which point is the view of the thread updated? Do I already see the
new messages after hitting 'x' and land in that thread? Is the thread
there again after I hit 'a'? Or neither?

I think I've missed a couple of messages this way.
I'd appreciate it if someone could clarify.
