While working on the delete message handling patches, I was reminded how much I really dislike the default show-mode key bindings. Why can't I just archive/delete the current message, without archiving the entire thread? It doesn't make any sense.
Here we add two new functions to archive and delete just the single message, and then move to the next open message. We also add an option to the -next-open-message function so that it will pop back out to the parent search buffer when reaching the end of the thread. This should make message processing flow much smoother. Patches 1,2 and 4 can be applied even if the consensus is to not change the default key bindings, to make it easier for users to achieve the desired functionality without having to write their own functions. jamie.
