Sure, I added an example to the end of the Hooks page.

I'm glad to know there are other people annoyed by UI race conditions :).
Even after a quick look at the code I'm not sure what ThreadViewMode
will do when a thread is added to. It might actually archive/read/etc
new messages but not display them.
I'd like a keybinding to reload/redisplay the thread and a status bar
note if there are new messages. Any label changes should only affect
messages that have been displayed. What do you think?
