Also fold unread messages

I've been using mu4e-thread-folding for a few weeks and it is really useful, thanks!
However, I'd really like to be able to also fold unread messages in a thread. I follow many mailing lists so having very long threads with many unread e-mails is very common. In such cases, since unread messages are not folded, the benefit provided by the package goes away.
Something like what Mozilla Thunderbird does would be very useful: when you fold a thread that has unread messages, it modifies the "face" of the thread root header to not bold + underlined (and the child messages are folded).
How hard would it be to implement that?
It was what I intended to do in the first place but I remember I did not really manage. I can try to give another try. I'll leave the issue open in the meantime.
I would also enjoy having this feature !
Thread folding has been integrated in mu4e. It is a different implementation that is less lfeixble but much faster.
Could you refer to the actual function/variable to use built-in thread folding in recent mu4e versions?
It is here: https://github.com/djcb/mu/blob/master/mu4e/mu4e-thread.el
Just activate mu4e-thread-mode and you should get the bindings.
I see! It's not included in the latest 1.10.8 release. Thank you!
