9.3 Dialog

Mew can list messages which have relationship with the current message. Let's call this "dialog". This is different from thread described later in the following points:

• - Thread can be made from one folder or one virtual folder. Messages relating to dialog can ubiquitously exists in several folders.
• - Thread visualizes tree structres with indentation. while dialog lists up messages in order of time.

To use the feature of dialog, execute ‘kI’ to create database. New messages are not automatically registered in to the database, you should periodically execute ‘kI’. ‘kI’ updates the database incrementally by default. This method is fast but garbages are left. So, sometime you should type ‘C-ukI’ to update the database fully.

To make dialog, type ‘V’ on the current message. This command displays him, his ancestors, and his children only. His brothers and so on are not shown. If you display the entire of the family, type ‘V’ again on the first message of the dialog, which is the origin of the family.
