Description Mike Frysinger 2009-02-02 19:41:59 UTC 
Version:           1.11.0 (using KDE 4.2.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

with kde-4.1 and older, expanding a thread (clicking the + next to the message in the message list) automatically expanded all children of that message.  with kde-4.2, that no longer happens and every message with children must be manually expanded.

for example, with a thread like this:
a
|-- b
|   |-- e
|   |   `-- g
|   `-- f
|-- c
`-- d

with older versions, hitting the + next to "a" would expand "b" and "e" as well.  with kde-4.2, "b" and "e" stay collapsed.

this makes reading large threads painful as there is no easy way to expand everything.

This works for me using the menu view->Expand thread. It expands all the subthreads as well.
Tested in kmail 1.11.90 (kde 4.2.62).
Comment 2 Mike Frysinger 2009-02-13 18:23:36 UTC 
the point of clicking the + was so that i wouldnt have to go through the menu system.  however, that does point out there is a shortcut '.' and ',' which i can use in the mean time.

I also found that different behavior a regression to kmail in KDE 3.5
