Feature Request: finding replies #59
Description
this is probably difficult to implement but just in case it's feasible:
when returning to z2kplus and i'm scrolling through the unread messages, i often find a message that i think i want to reply to, but hesitate because maybe somebody has made the same point that i was going to make. i have to scroll through the rest of the unread messages to determine this. but if the number of unread messages is large, this is difficult. moreover, if i find another -- or more -- message to which i want to respond, my buffer overflows, and maybe i end up responding to the 2nd message but forget the first.
ideally, when somebody replies to a message, the original gets annotated -- somehow; UI might be annoying -- so that the reader can find the replies to it. that way, replying is easier.
of course, this is insufficient. i really need to read the reply tree under the message i'm looking at. i guess i really want a way to have both a time-flow view and trn's message tree view and be able to quickly toggle back and forth. or maybe only do the tree view when i want to see what's been said on a subject so far, while primary browsing is in the time-line view.
