thanks, but i want the threads to remain collapsed whether they have new mail or just received new mail and thus get un-collapsed. w/ collapse_unread=no, i can't collapse threads at all. w/ collapse_unread=yes, i can at least collapse the threads after they had been un collapsed on receiving new mail. - parv --
