           Summary: add option to ignore thread upon collapse
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: nick at leippe.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Especially for mailing lists, my use case is:
- read a the first post of a new topic (which marks it as read)
- follow it or not, eventually I decide I don't care about it anymore, and
click the [-] to collapse it.
- a new message comes in, and opens the entire thread again
The only way I've found to avert this last step is to right click on the first
post and select "ignore thread". This gets old quickly, especially on a high
volume list.

Desired use case is quite simply:
- if I ever collapse a thread, it stays collapsed until I expand it.

Another possible addition in combination with this is adding a
thread-indicator, since the first message is likely already read, perhaps color
the [+] [-] black/blue/red jus like messages to indicate that there is a
new/unread message in the thread, even though it is still collapsed.
