In the gmail inbox, the conversations show a preview that contains the beginning of the first email in the conversation. Is there a way to change the preview to show the beginning of the last email in the conversation instead?

... it does... This might be caused by inconsistent timestamps between messages and replies. – Fosco Oct 5 '10 at 16:14
I googled this and it seems like it was an bug that gmail was aware of. Today it is fixed :). – dmr Oct 5 '10 at 20:01

Can you add a screen shot? Because in both my personal Gmail account and work (Google Apps mail) account, the single line preview for a conversation is the beginning of the last (most recent) message in the convo.

Oh, and i believe Google calls these "Snippets".

Edit:

This might be related to Priority Inbox. Do you have that turned on? (you can turn it off)
