GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 262224
Select Complete Thread action
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:04:48 UTC
It would be useful to be able to select an entire thread even if the currently selected message is not the start of the thread. Currently the 'Select Thread' option in the Edit Menu only selects messages hierarchically below the current message.
still in 2.1.4

copying relevant(TM) comments from duplicate bug 322073: Edit / Select Entire Thread would be a really useful feature, as discussed and requested on the Evo mailing list. Proposed accelerator: Shift-Ctrl-H

will not be fixed in the 2.5 timeframe, retargetting to "future".

I'm not sure I see the value of keeping the current behavior, but if it *is* kept then I think it ought to get a new menu item. "Select Message Thread" ought to actually do what it says. If we can agree on the right semantics, I'd be happy to cook up a patch for this. Should be pretty easy since most of the work was done in bug #216485.
Mathew, I have a patch to a new menu item for selecting the entire message thread. Waiting for branching to commit it.
Any update on this one, now that evolution has branched?
Bumping version to a stable release.
This is fixed in 3.2.3 (actually, earlier already).
