So how long would a message have to wait until it's revenge worthy?

I'm trying a move up from 2007 because I'm setting up a new box (didn't want to risk rollback pain on my current one if a not-officially-supported addin ended up not working); and I'm finding that I can't get the conversation view to work right like it did in 2007. My problem is that the first time I open a conversation (either via a click, or the right arrow) it tries to be "clever" and show only a minimum subset of messages (hiding ones contained in quoted text). This sucks, (read it doesn't do what I want it to do) because it hides most of the conversational structure that's the reason I'm using it in the first place: to get a full view I have to click/arrow a second time. Is there any way to change it to fully open with a single action?
The option to Always Expand Conversations isn't what I want. While it does fully open the conversation in a single shot, because it triggers automatically if I leave conversation selected for more than a fraction of a second it makes navigating a folder of them by keyboard a major pain.
Is 2013 any better in this regard? I only went to 2010 because I'm underwhelmed by some of the styling choices in 2013; but not to the point that I'd pass it up for improved functionality for something I use a lot.

This view works just fine for me, and I am running Office 2010.
Each time you close your chat window, it will start a new item/record in the conversation history list-view. This will appear partial to all the conversations you had with someone that day.
i.e. Don't close person A's chat session unless you want a separate record in history.

I'm asking about the conversation view for email threads, not chat.

I'm planning to update my home network and thought I'd throw out the more than a decade old "server" and exchange it for a NAS.
Thing is that I'm out of touch with hardware. I don't know what to look for or what to avoid, neither in features nor in brands.
What I do want is obviously file sharing.
But also streaming over DLNA and whatever the fruit uses.
<edit>And also a low noise level</edit>

Noise level is a good point to consider.

FYI
JOSP wrote an excellent article Build Your Own NAS Device[^].
And I'll add a shameless plug here;
I wrote and article about using Ubuntu as an NAS FreeNAS or Ubuntu[^], I used mine at home for quite a while and it worked well until the grand kids needed a computer.

It's one of those that will go into pension now. And for that kind of project to be profitable cheap you basically need to have the hardware more or less lying around.
Which I don't.
But it's plan B.

I hear ya, usually when I upgrade now the grand kids are waiting to take it or it ain't worth taking in which case everyone loses.
Sometimes I've seen older machines in pawn shops and/or Craigslist for pretty cheap, I don't know what the equivalent in your part of the world would be?

The machine you use doesn't have to be a fast cpu or have a lot of RAM. What matters most is the number of sata connectors it has, as well as how big the case is that contains it. I use a case that's 18-inches square and has room for 18 hard drives, and the motherboard I use has FIVE sata connectors, and has room for any a number of add-on sata controller boards. When you figure you can add 3tb drives relatively cheaply, you can imagine the storage space you can accumulate in a single box. Right now, I have 9tb of storage in mine, and it's almost time to get another hard drive.

I did much research a couple of years ago, and decided Synology was the way to go.
Good reputation, slightly on the expensive side, but not overly so, very easy to administer and use, lots of 'apps' to download etc.
I'd buy one again.

SORRY - CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Mine sits on my desk about 1/2 meter from my head.
I really don't notice any noise - If I listen carefully I can hear the fan, just (it is speed controlled, so when it gets really hot & I am, say, streaming, the fan does speed up a bit & that is noticeable - but then when I'm streaming I'm not sitting next to it!)

Sounds reasonable enough. I'll investigate Synology. They're a bit more expensive, but not by that much.

Anandtech favors Synology and QNAP as offering the largest feature set among off the shelf NASes. If all you need is a basic file share most of the competition will work too, but the price savings are fairly modest. IF you're really trying to pinch penny's a DIY solution will be cheaper; but unless you've got an old box to repurpose you're still looking at a few hundred for a case/mobo/ram/psu; and you'll still end up with something significantly larger than an off the shelf NAS (whose volume tends to be only slighly larger than that of the disk trays). The DIY option really comes into its own price wise if a 4 bay model won't fit your needs; all the NAS vendors assume 8+ bay customers are SMBs and price accordingly (presumably you're getting a better support contract if something goes wrong; but otherwise you're paying a disproportionate share of the salary for the dev team).
Since other people have already linked to articles about using Penguinware to build a server, I'm going to offer the counterpoint about how to build a home server on Windows 8.[^]. A few bits of that article have been pulled from the main site to try and sell their ebook; but you can find them all on archive.org by going back to the first posted copy.  Having used WHSv1 and WHS 2011 (+3rd party tool) to create easily expandable storage pools, I'll probably be using the storage spaces to build my next home server on regular Windows, similar to this[^] but probably based on top of Win 10 instead.

I have a D-Link DNS-321 NAS since 5+ years ($60.00). It works just fine. I would recommend the newer version of that same NAS[^]. And then buy 2 WD Red (Get the Red one, it's specially build for NAS) HDD and you are all set. In my research this was the cheapest option available.

I have 2 synology nas at home.
Highly recommend them.
Easy enough to set up.
Works with streaming over DLNA (haven't found any format yet that it doesn't do).
Lot's of options (you can disable / enable them as you wish).
It is a bit on the expensive side but well worth it in my opinion. (ofcourse I did buy the company grade ones and not the cheaper one's so...)

That makes three votes for Synology.
How's the noise level?
