Yes.

Can you provide any links to that discussion? I can find no record of that
when searching for "Francesco Ariis" in mutt-user@ archive:

I think this is a misunderstanding.  Yubin is asking for a command to
collapse one _sub_thread, _not_ an entire thread.  For example, this
thread now has 5 messages; the question is about a feature to collapse
just the part from the 3rd message (for example).

To my knowledge, this command doesn't exist.  However, with a clever
macro using a message-id pattern, it is possible to _hide_ all messages
with the current message in the reference chain.  I think this was
dicussed here within the last year or so, with Francesco Ariis one of
the participants.

 V: collapse-all
 v: collapse-thread

I find it helpful to have a dummy account on my machine with
no .muttrc so I can check defaults (not only in mutt).

what is the command for that? My key configuration of Alt-v binds to toggling
the entire thread instead of a subthread.

You can use Alt-v to collapse and open a sub-thread and Alt-V to 
collapse and open all sub-threads.

Is collapse subthread possible?

[Yubin Ruan]

Such a feature would be nice for reading threads which contains lots of
messages.
