I'm used to different behavior from other threaded reader applications
on the Mac and PC side. Starting with an index of messages with some
threads collapsed, if I do a search, and some of the search results are
in messages belonging to collapsed threads, the application uncollapses
only those threads to reveal the matched message(s). What do you think
of this behavior? Good idea? Bad idea?
