[MlMt] Working with thread arcs

[Kai Großjohann]

Hi Curtis,

I'm using the "widescreen" layout, and I can use the cursor up / cursor 
down keys to navigate the list of messages, and the cursor right / 
cursor left keys to expand/collapse some threads.  Holding down the 
option key (alt key) while doing cursor right means that not only the 
top-level message is expanded, but also all its submessages.

I'm a big fan of the Gmail keys, where j/k moves between threads and n/p 
moves between messages.  Hitting the n key while on a collapsed thread 
will expand the thread as necessary to navigate to the appropriate 
message.

Does this help?

Kai
