post tabs have a filter selector, you select filter, it filters, not related to downloading. Is that not what you mean?
You can sort on at least two columns, not sure about more than that. I often hit group and subject.
AFAIK the Thumbnails are the only way to 'sample' pictures, but since they're inevitably so small, you've already downloaded them. Sounds like what you want is that, but not saving to disk. Not likely to happen, but possible.
Re: why dont certain messages get permanently deleted

I just talked to Quade about this. Spam posts that are posted over and over get lumped together into one line, but when you delete it, only the most recent occurrence gets deleted from the spools. That's why they are gone when you do a Show Posts, but when you do Show All Posts older spam posts are still creeping in. The workaround would be to Show All Posts then delete, reload, delete, reload until they are gone. Pain in the ass I know. Thank the spammers.

If you sort one, then sort the next column, the first column stays in the same order as much as possible.

Yeah the issue of dealing with spam and sporge is a biggie. The method of using poster name is dubious since increasingly sporgers are using a legitmate poster's name.
Only applies to 5.59, 6 doesn't have this issue.
I have it setup as a custom key equivalent, even faster.

Now , it just so happens that after posting this I discovered that particular command isn't working in the latest release(it was) as a key equiv, but it will get fixed. I'm also going to request that delete all posts from poster respect the confirmation for dialogs for 'delete posts', so that you will hopefully be able to select a bad post, hit your key equiv, and that's it, they're all gone.
