Maybe, but it's also a request for someone to further develop the
documentation. :)

I don't believe you can, until Daniel's latest threading patches make
it into 1.5.n, n>=2. The new patches will isolate threading from
sorting, so that you enable or disable threads but still have two sort
parameters.

No, the "~n" pattern operator evaluates scores. You can color, limit,
search, etc. based on scores. E.g.:
macro index ! "<limit>~n 500-<enter>" \
"Show only the really important stuff"
But I don't know a lot. I don't use scoring, because I find that I have
to use it consistently for all my mail to make it useful for any of my
mail.
