I find the 'collapse-all' threads switch very good for handling

(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<enter>"'
folder-hook . 'push ":set
auto_tag=no<enter><untag-pattern>~T<enter><tag-pattern>~P~N<enter><tag-prefix-cond><clear-flag>N<untag-pattern>~T<enter><end-cond>:set
auto_tag=yes<enter>"'
folder-hook . 'push "<collapse-all>"'
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 <read-subthread> keystrokes.
