Oh yes, I also bind ^-r like this:
macro index Cameron Simpson \CR "" "mark
the current thread as read"
which marks the whole thread as read and collapses it.

(Looks at the default key bindings...) And here's a direct counter
example to my claim that mutt rarely uses the Escape key :-)
My own approach with collapsing threads is:
Macros which bind '{' and '}' to collapse-thread; I find this
convenient.
A sequence of folder hooks like this:
folder-hook . 'push ":set collapse_unread=no"'
folder-hook . 'push ":set
auto_tag=no~T~P~NN~T:set
auto_tag=yes"'
folder-hook . 'push ""'
This causes all threads with no new messages to be collapsed, greatly
reducing the vertical noise in list discussions. Method:
- collapse_unread=no to not collapse threads with new messages
- mark any new messages from me as read (after all, I wrote them!)
- collapse all, which now avoids collapsing the threads with new
messages
I really need to teach my fingers the keystrokes.
Cheers,

That means one's got to press the 'Esc' and the 'd' keys at the same time. No, it means Control and 'd'. Escape is normally a keystroke type key (like the letters etc), unlike Control or Shift etc which are modifiers. Escape is sometimes used as a prefix character in some environments (notably Emacs and readline modes using emacs key bindings) but rarely in mutt. Cheers, Cameron Simpson (formerly c...@zip.com.au)

At least this is what I use to delete full threads without reading them. Btw: When I compare mutt with the MUA app on my Ubuntu phone (Dekko), this deletion of full threads is what I most miss in this MUA, esp. if one is subscribed to a lot of technical mailing lists and often it happens that a thread is of no interest or one can't say anything in this for help. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub May, 9: Спаси́бо освободители!
