6.8 Thread

When in the process of exchanging messages, the relationship of the messages is presented in a tree structure. Visualization of the structure with indentation is called thread. Here is an example:

The thread feature is implemented as virtual folder. For instance, if you make threads for +inbox, a buffer *+inbox* is prepared.

To make thread, the following commands exist.

‘tt’

Make threads from Summary mode or selection and move the cursor to the current message. If corresponding threads already exist, switch to the Virtual mode. When this command is executed on threads, switch to the original folder and move the cursor to the current message.

‘C-utt’

Make threads for messages in the region.

‘mt’

Make threads for messages marked with ‘*’.

‘tr’

Make threads for messages matched to a regular expression.
