Wish list: thread virtual selectors

[Uday Reddy]

It would be useful to have virtual selectors `thread-any' and `thread-all' which check if a selector is true for any (or all) messages in the current thread.

Revision 1273 adds a command `V T' as well as virtual selectors `thread' and `thread-all'.

This is nice. Here's a _very_ minor quibble...

If I don't vm-toggle-threads-display at least once, then try to use V T, you get:

VM internal threading error: vm-thread-subtree

from this line in vm-thread-subtree...

      (signal 'vm-thread-error (list 'vm-thread-subtree)))

I don't get the error even if I hit ctrl-t twice to toggle threads on then back off.

From glancing at the code, it's not obvious to me what side effect of vm-toggle-threads-display makes vm-thread-subtree happy.

By the way, if we're nitpicking vm at this level, maybe we're ready for 8.2.0. Are there any major bugs we want to have fixed before 8.2.0 can be released? The high importance bugs in the current bug list don't seem like show stoppers for an 8.2.0 release (maybe 740755 but I don't know if it's very common - I don't recall seeing those symptoms). Sorry for hijacking this thread.

Good catch! Fixed in rev. 1299.
