 appears to do nothing
 appears to open the last message in the thread
immediately above the current cursor position
 invokes the standard Windows function
 scrolls down the current message in the preview pane

Confirmed (this has been the standard behaviour as long as I have used

I _think_ the behaviour of  and 
have changed since v5, but I no longer have v5 installed to confirm.

Expanding threads problems

2014-03-26 Thread Robert Bull
Help says, under topic Threading:

"To expand all threads in a folder message list press .
To expand / collapse all branches of the current thread, use
. To expand and collapse threads use
 and to toggle threads explanded or collapsed you can use
,  or ."

This doesn't fully work for me. Maybe this is because of using a
laptop with keyboard overlay (with extra function key) for numeric
keypad, and the kb may or may not be UK layout, so I might need
different scancodes. What I see is:

1)  behaves identically with , i.e.,
expands *all* threads, not just the one under the cursor.

2) None of ,  or  work. All invoke
the standard Windows Alt+Space menu for the current window (Restore,
Move, Size, Minimize, Maximise, Close).  on its own appears to
work like Plus, but moves the cursor down a line each time, which Plus
doesn't.

3)  partially works. If I put the cursor on a top-level
node and press Plus, it will show the child nodes, but not necessarily
open the grandchild nodes. Whether that happens or no seems to depend
on how they were left last time. If the grandchild nodes were open,
then Plus on the top-level opens them, but if they weren't, it
doesn't, so I repeatedly have to use Plus on the next level down.

I'd like a way to expand/collapse all nodes of the current thread,
regardless of how the nodes were left last time, and also for Help to
match what I see, or at least to explain why I don't seem to see what
I think it's saying.  Please can anyone confirm what I'm seeing?  Have
I misunderstood something?
