You can use this patch to add functionality to the thread interface offered by
Alpine. It adds commands and options that control several aspects of the way
threads are presented.
* You can delete a thread, by pressing ^R (to remove), you can undelete it by
pressing ^U (without this patch, you would have to collapse the thread
before you can delete it).
* You can select and unselect a thread, by pressing ^T. This is useful if you
want to make aggregate operations on a thread, like saving it.
* You can collapse or expand a particular thread by pressing [ or ]
respectively. If you want to collapse or expand ALL threads, use the
commands { and } respectively. These last two commands work only if you
have selected any of the options (*)
regular-index-with-expanded/collapsed-threads.
* You can move to the next or previous thread by pressing ) or ( respectively.
* You can sort threads by arrival, in order to do this press k a. There are
other sorts for threads by Date and by Score. If you want to have threads
permanently sorted by arrival, say, then set the variable thread-sort-key
to be arrival. You can also start Alpine with the option -threadsort
arrival to accomplish the same.
* Similarly, you can sort threads by their length. In order to do this press
k z. Small threads appear at the beginning of the listing, while long
threads appear at the bottom. Threads of the same length are sorted
according to the date of their first message. In particular, single message
threads are sorted by date.
* A new configuration option was added:
[X] enhanced-fancy-thread-support
if you enable this configuration option, then all of the above commands
will act on loose threads, which are threads without parents.
* The SIZETHREAD index token was added, which tells you the size of a thread,
instead of the size of the individual messages in the thread.
