Based on this thread (sorry if this isn't the canonical way to link to ML
threads): http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.mutt.devel/21661.
When trying to write macros for collapsing and deleting a thread I ran
into an issue. If I'm on the index page, I have no way of knowing if a
thread is collapsed or not (in a macro). It'd be useful to have a
`collapse-thread` command, which would have no effect on an already
collapsed thread. That way it doesn't matter that I can't conditionally
collapse threads.
I think it'd be useful for all the `toggle-` commands to have associated
on/off versions of their commands, to work around the lack of
conditionals in commands. Here are some I found in the manual:
toggle-new
toggle-write
toggle-quoted
toggle-unlink
toggle-mailboxes
toggle-subscribed
collapse-thread
(change to toggle-thread and add collapse/uncollapse-thread)
collapse-all
(change to toggle-all and add collapse/uncollapse-all)
There might be others, but I'm not sure. Some of these might not seem to
be sensible to have collapse/uncollapse versions, but I bet there's some
circumstance where someone would find a use for them. Thanks for your
consideration and the great mail client!
