And thanks for that, too.

Well I'd say, for me that would not be of more interest because, at list
in this case, I guess I am more interested in saving space on my
40-cells braille display than on the ability to perceive the
tree-structure of a thread, which would be time-consuming to grasp.

As far as I am myself concerned, the ability to have the thread
manipulation commands without this involving any specific change on the
display would be my own best of both worlds, I think.

I don't think it does, indeed.

Do you value the indentation? I guess so.

Sure, thanks for picking up the topic. FWIW Mutt already has a
braille_friendly variable. A presentation with no indentation could be
conditionned to this variable being set. Perhaps it would be possible to
add another boolean variable representing whether the structure is
rendered with ascii-art or with indentation but I cannot come up with an
elegant name right now.

Seb.
