Thankyou. Thankyou. Thankyou for this outstanding plugin. Why you are the only person in the entire opensource world that I can find creating a conversation view, I'll never know, but I'm grateful. This is the single answer I have for people asking about how to leave google behind without going back to 20 year old, outdated email gui designs. I love that you included so many of the small but beautiful touches like inline replies and collapsing read messages. I do wish that collapsed threads that had an unread email in them would show the thread as unread, regardless of the status of the first email (at least when the thread is collapsed). This is how Gmail does it. The current way has meant I often haven't realised there was a reply as the (collapsed) thread showed as read in my inbox. Maybe it could be shown as dark grey insead of black+bold for unread or light grey for read. Anyway, this is just a niggle, and my overall putpose was to say THANKYOU for this sanity saving addon. You're my personal hero.

...now please go and code a version of this for Roundcube! ;P
