+\r
+I haven't applied this one for a few reasons:\r
+\r
+1. I don't know what the functions are support to do.\r
+\r
+ The commit log says "behave like gmail" but I don't know what that\r
+ means personally. And the functions don't have any documentation\r
+ strings.\r
+\r
+ I assume that these functions are either showing or hiding all\r
+ message bodies in the current thread?\r
+\r
+2. You provided a binding for collapse, but not expand. I don't like\r
+ functionality which lets a user hide a bunch of data, and then not be\r
+ able to get it back---that's really annoying if the user hits the key\r
+ accidentally.\r
+\r
+ Personally, I think I'd be much more likely to use expand before\r
+ collapse, (for example, to easily see the context when a new message\r
+ arrives in a thread that I'd previously read so comes up collapsed by\r
+ default).\r
+\r
+Should we perhaps make something which temporarily makes all hidden\r
+messages visible but then toggles back to the previous subset of some\r
+show messages? Once again, I'm worried about providing trapdoor\r
+interfaces where the user can't get back to the previous state easily.\r
