Comment (by kevin8t8):
I've tested it more, and it seems to work properly.
One thing I was concerned about was whether thread->child->prev could be
non-null. The original patch checked for that case, and the
match_threadcomplete() function marks to go prev and next when traversing
down.
However, I've looked through the thread.c code, and it does not seem to be
the case that thread->child ever points to the middle of the children.
You can see this in linearize_tree(), mutt_sort_subthreads(),
mutt_sort_threads() and the way in which insert_message() is called, and
also in _mutt_traverse_thread().
If it turns out I've missed something, then I'll change the new functions,
but I'm not going to add voodoo code just in case.
I'm uploading a v2 patch with documentation. Unless there are any
objections, I'll push it up in a few days.
