I agree that it's confusing to have these open/close signs without 
functionality in the threaded header list while they work as expected 
in the folder list.

Unfortunately, these signs can only be deactivated for the root 
messages of the threads if one uses the standard QListView.

I see three alternatives:
1.) Someone makes the threaded headers collapsable. BTW, I wonder why 
the QListView class doesn't support the collapsing functionality by 
default.
2.) Someone derives a new class from QListViewItem which implements a 
member function to not show the open/close signs, i.e. something like 
QListView::setRootIsDecorated(bool).
3.) Someone convinces the QT development team to make it possible to 
not show the open/close signs for QListViewItem's. Currently it's only 
possible to not show these signs for the root items which are 
QListView's.

Regards,
Ingo
