Well, there are several clues:
- when you press alt+1, or go through the menu, the threaded view is
enabled for that folder
- when you have threaded view enabled, there are a few ways to notice
it:
* you will notice a boxed '+' or boxed '-' as the parent messages
for threads (those signs may be a graphic, as I couldn't find them
in any of my fonts), however: a standalone message wont have
either of these symbols
* If you still have the default order for columns, you can notice a
change in that order: it goes from "message flags, and so on" to
"subject" and so on (mind you: only true for switching to
non-threaded view to threaded-by-references)

There's a change from 'boxed +' (which is unexpanded) to 'boxed -'
(expanded) in the beginning of the 'subject column' (which is the
first column if you thread by referencens)
SMS> How can I tell how many messages are in a thread?
The total of messages in a thread (or subthread) are in the column
'total'.
SMS> Are threads actually colapsed
Yes, when you change to a folder, all threads are collapsed.
One exception: if the last message you viewed was within a thread, the
thread is collapsed up to the level of the message you viewed. All
subtrees that are not in the message path will be closed.
Expand them all by using control *

Read, Unread, Replied to, Forwarded, etc all use different graphics in
the "message flags" column.

You described the way to do it :-)
By increasing the number in the column view, you make the column
larger. By changing the order of the columns, you also change the
order the columns are presented.
