Description Kai Engert 2013-06-11 12:50:55 UTC 
- go to a folder with several threads, and several messages in each thread
- use view / collapse all
- select all
- hit the delete key

expected: all messages in all threads deleted

actual, incorrect behaviour:
  only a subset, only one message gets deleted, 
  and everything else gets uncollapsed

Seen on Fedora 19 with Evolution 3.8.2

Collapsed messages aren't selected with Select All.  The Delete behavior follows from that, so adjusting the bug summary to focus on message selection.

This is an old bug.  I can reproduce it on Evolution 2.32.  Currently trying to learn enough ETree code to address this.

Fixed for Evolution 3.9.4 in:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=452638466217dbfef0c0954c90aa7cb03cf91452

This comes after a good deal of recent ETree refactoring, so I'm not going to attempt to backport it to 3.8.

This fix has a regression, see bug #708682
