I believe that the interface has changed slightly since this request was
submitted. However a keyboard shotcut to switch between Threaded and
non-threaded views would be useful

Hi-
This is was asked in 2003. Is there any chance it gets implemented?
I am a new user, and I think this shortcut is important to have, as the threading is valuable, but, it loses the sorting in time, which is important as well. So, it is useful to be able to switch quickly between the two modes.

In general, can we have an interface to have any shortcut?

I tried a third party solution that works (or should work) in general on Windows, and it didn't work well. 

Thanks!

I have been using the add-on Threadkey which allows to:
"Strike the 'T' key to sort messages by thread, strike the 'U' key to sort them unthreaded again, just like the 'G' key switches to Grouped By Sort view"
http://threadkey.sourceforge.net/
I am not sure what's the process to incorporate addons with time, if they are useful to many.
