I like to have my messages displayed ungrouped and unthreaded.  Unfortunately, I
find it far too easy to turn on grouping (by pressing G accidentally) and too
hard to remove the grouping (since there isn't any hotkey that handles that).

If it's possible to remove the "grouped by sort" hotkey, that would be great. 
If I can turn "unsorted" back on with a hotkey, that would also be great. 
Perhaps we could just have a button that'll undo the grouping, or "undo" could
undo the grouping action.  



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press G
2. Get annoyed that it happened again
3. Go to "View" -> "Sort by" -> "Unthreaded" to get things back to how I want

Actual Results:  
It worked.

Expected Results:  
It should have permitted me to deactivate grouping as easily as I activated it.
