The Customize function is severely lacking. I believe during the beta
period some people protested the lack of most shortcut keys for
View-Display functions, which seem now to only be available via mouse.

However, there's another shortcoming: If a view mode has a filter to
only show unread messages, View-Display-All will not override it.
Apparently the only way to see all messages in a folder with such a
view mode filter is to change the view mode. Then, of course, when
you've finished whatever you needed to do, you have to change it back.
A lot of wasted effort.

It seems to me that the best approach would be to let View-Display
_temporarily_ override the View Mode filter setting (and folder
tab display settings, should those be implemented in a future version),
and perhaps be cancelable with the Esc key the way alt-click sorting
on From/Subject/Etc. entries currently is.

Anyway, the interaction of View Display, View Mode filters, and folder
tabs needs to be rethought.
