I don't think it's that simple. Having two buffers for viewing threads
means:
- both of them now have to be maintained
- keeping feature parity between them would be nontrivial
- not keeping feature parity would be confusing for the users
It can easily lead to an unmaintainable mess and madness.

Will reply to other bits of this email later.
