This is from Debian Bug#344766; in a nutshell, if a thread is missing the root
message, doing next-thread from the previous thread goes to the first message,
but doing previous-thread from the next one does not. Here is the original
report:
-----------------------------------
Hi,
when in threaded mode, mutt doesn't jump to the first available message when
executing previous-thread (default binding: ^P) when the parent of two
replies is not available, which is at least unexpected. In my case it goes
to the second subthread. I wanted to read all what I have of this thread and
expected ^P to jump to the first message, so I can read all the messages by
pressing <right>.
You can test this with the file prev_thread-test.mbox that is compressed in
the attached file mutt_test_prev_thread.tar.bz2 [1]. Maybe an automated test can
be done with the muttrc I wrote. After executing
$ mutt -f prev_thread-test.1.mbox -F muttrc
the created file "content" should be the same as "content.expected".
Actually it gives the same as in "content.not_expected".
Greeting,
Mike Dornberger
