Show message info shortcut

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello,

When viewing a message in TB, there is this little plus (minus) sign
next to the message subject, to make the addressees appear (disappear).

Is there some keyboard shortcut or access key to do this?

I can’t find it anywhere in the View menu or elsewhere either.

H.

Try the Headers Toggle extension:

That is not what I am asking for. Read carefully my description, I
cannot word it better.

Is there no way to do this inside TB? That is a serious flaw, if you
ask me. Not a good thing for users that can’t/won’t use a mouse...

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about.

In the Folder Pane,(at the left) there are plus/minus signs to expand or
collapse the trees. For mail accounts it shows the folders, for news
the different groups subscribed.

In the List Pane, the upper right in the default three pane view, there
are plus/minus signs if using threaded view, to expand or collapse the
threads.

Neither of those would seem to be what you are asking about.

When viewing a message, I don't see a plus/minus at all, though that may
well be theme related. The only thing even close was Rom's guess, which
clearly was not what you mean.

Can you clarify your question?

Are you referring to the "+" or "-" sign that appears next to the first
message in a thread, and which expands or collapses the thread? If so,
you can expand a thread when the message (with the "+" sign next to it)
is selected by pressing the right arrow key. You can collapse a thread
by pressing the left arrow key to navigate up the thread until you are
on the message with the "-" sign, then pressing the left arrow will
collapse the thread.

Alternately, you can press "*" to expand all threads, or "\" to collapse
all threads. I don't know of a single key stroke to collapse just the
current thread. In a very deep thread, it can require multiple
pressings of the left arrow to climb to the first message, and only then
will the left arrow collapse the thread. I find it easiest if in that
situation to use "\", collapsing all threads, and then re-expand other
threads as necessary. YMMV.

I think he's referring to the plus sign that reveals the message header.

Theme related, its not a plus sign to me. Still that's what I would
have guessed,but when Rom suggested Headers Toggle, which would seem to
do the job, he got shot down. I dunno, wait for clarification I guess.

I believe the Mnenhy extension provides this (and other) functionality:

You can also toggle (expand/collapse) the current thread by pressing
enter on the message. This, I think, is a bug; enter also opens the
message. This means that, if I have a thread expanded, and then open
the first message in that thread (by pressing enter), the thread is
collapsed. This is extremely irritating.

Also, if you're using a screen reader, the state of threads will not be
correctly read out. This resulted in me missing tons of messages before
I realized they could be opened and the replies were underneath. This
is interesting, as the new/unread/replied icons are read just fine.

CTRL+U shows all the message headers.
