Since we're on the subject of keybindings, my other pet peeve: "a" versus
"A", in thread-view-mode.  Because index-view-mode uses "a", I press that in
thread-view-mode expecting to have the thread archived.  For some reason, I
can never seem to remember to use "A" instead.

So, I generally do: "a", "^G", "A".
Or sometimes: "a", "^G", "x", "a".
Or sometimes: <sit... think about it... hmmm...>, "A".

Muscle memory is no good for that keybinding.  ;-)

In general, if there is a command that operates on a message from index mode
and makes sense to also operate in thread-view-mode, it would be useful if
they had the same keybinding.
