Well, you can always just esc-V twice. Mutt seems to hold the value of the
all-collapsed toggle, so if you get a half-and-half display like that and
hit esc-V, it switches to all uncollapsed. Then a second esc-V will
recollapse them all. I use the following:
macro index \cv "<esc>V<esc>V"
as well as
folder-hook . "push <esc>V"
to start out with everything collapsed.
On a somewhat related, somewhat offtopic note... I've had trouble getting
esc-v or esc-V or any other esc key combo to work since I started running
Mutt in screen. Anyone know anything about this? I don't seem to get this
problem with other apps in screen.
