That means one's got to press the 'Esc' and the 'd' keys at the same time. No, it means Control and 'd'. Escape is normally a keystroke type key (like the letters etc), unlike Control or Shift etc which are modifiers. Escape is sometimes used as a prefix character in some environments (notably Emacs and readline modes using emacs key bindings) but rarely in mutt. Cheers, Cameron Simpson (formerly c...@zip.com.au)

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"'
folder-hook . 'push ":set
auto_tag=no~T~P~NN~T:set
auto_tag=yes"'
folder-hook . 'push ""'
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 keystrokes.

Oh yes, I also bind ^-r like this:
macro index Cameron Simpson \CR "" "mark
the current thread as read"
which marks the whole thread as read and collapses it.
