You'll probably need to write a e_tree_collapse_threads and an
e_tree_expand_threads function in libgal. Once those are done, you will
want to add menu items into one of the files in ui/ src directory
(toplevel).

Then you'll need to setup callback functions in the mailer that will
call the e_tree_expand/collapse_threads() functions. I can't think of
which files you'll need to edit off the top of my head, but I'll check
into this later.

Not sure what needs to be done here...

It'd be best if you implemented these features in the Evolution 1.5
codebase rather than the 1.4 codebase since that is the future.
