Description Boris de Laage 2004-08-03 00:47:10 UTC 
When selecting a collapsed thread, all messages of the thread should be
selected (as with Ctrl-H), not the first one. I think it's more natural to
do this way.

changing summary, it just took me too long to find this... :-)

Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-07-15 15:52:27 UTC 
marking 227744 (GAL) as a dup of this one here: this bug here also refers to
marking as read/unread and so on.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-07-15 15:53:07 UTC 
well...is this still gal's ETree?

3 duplicates, upping from enhancement to bug. Changing Component to Mailer. Removing keyword probabledup, adding usability instead. :)
Comment 8 Dooglus 2006-07-29 16:07:55 UTC 
I just tried dragging a collapsed thread from Inbox to a different folder.

Only the first message in the thread moved.

Is that a symptom of this bug, or should I raise a new bug report?

Either way, dragging a collapsed thread from one mailbox to another should certainly move the whole thread, not just one message.
Comment 9 Omer Akram 2010-06-08 06:55:02 UTC 
and the bug still exists in 2.30

Comment 12 Milan Crha 2017-11-30 11:53:46 UTC 
I made this work, but not for each action. It works for mark read/unread, delete, junk, archive messages and some other, but not for example for open selected messages or when saving selected messages as mbox. We can change the behaviour as needed.

Created commit ad32bd159a in evo master (3.27.3+)

@Milan Thank you, so much!

I'm experiencing the same problem as described by @Dooglus.

Has this been resolved too or should we open a separate issue?

Drag&drop of a collapsed thread is covered in the above change, whole thread is used, instead of the top collapsed message only.
