Thanks for having taken the time to explain!

Well. I am blind and, the last time I tried enablign the thread support
in Mutt it made the display very "graphical", to render the tree
structure of a thread I think.

Although I can certainly see the value of such a rendering for sighted
users, in my case I must say it made everything rather messy and I had
to renounce to it, in spite of my interest for the feature.

So, TBH I do miss the "Re: " prefix in your messages.

And, this was another topic I wanted to discuss anyway: is there a way
to enable threads commands but not the thread display?

Best wishes,

Seb.
