That's great! But it leaves a (pointless?) mystery...

I don't think it should be given a value.

Yes, and grepping through all of my mutt configuration files (at least the ones
I know of) for collapse only turned up
unset collapse_unread
(I prefer it unset, but if I understood you correctly you wanted all threads
collapsed, so I suggested set, assuming (i.e. not testing) that it is the
opposite of unset.)

You probably have a system Muttrc, (/usr/local/etc/Muttrc on mine) which was
being read without your knowledge. mutt -v will tell you, and IIRC there's an
option to prevent reading it.
So, collapse_unread and/or upgrading was a false lead, but I don't understand
why. Sorry. I hope upgrading didn't take too long, and that you benefit from
the new features.
Happy 2004, everyone,
Rob
