Hi,
Broken up into 2 parts for confusion in pieces ;)
--Interactive Macros--
Is there a way to define a macro that has the capability to prompt the
user for input? The main reason that provoked this question is creating
a command similar to <sort-mailbox> for the secondary sort pattern
(sort_aux). I've worked around the problem by creating several "views"
using macros, although I'm still curious if such a "feature" would have
any other use.
--Sub-threads--
Does the ability to collapse/expand sub-threads exist in Mutt?
(Described with an example at the end of this email)
I would imagine that explicit expand and collapse calls (as opposed to a
toggle) would provide better flexibility and functionality.
collapsing sub-threads is also mentioned in (0 Replies):
REF: David T-G 2002-01-20 [mutt-users]turning threads inside out (well,
sorta)
Finally, while jumping to a message # that is hidden (from a collapsed
thread for example), mutt jumps to the next visible message. I haven't
dug around on this one to know if that is the intended behavior.
Any thoughts?

Example sub-thread functionality:
(Arrow is current message)
-A
-B
+C
-D
--> -E
::collapse-subthread::
-A
-B
+C
--> +D
::collapse-subthread::
--> +A
::collapse-subthread::
--> +A (no effect)
::expand-subthread::
--> -A
+B
+D
A collapse-subthread routine may *need* to first advance to the parent
if the current subthread is already collapsed (with either the
<parent-message> function or something else), as it doesn't make to much
sense any other way (or at least I couldn't envision much usefulness
without it).
