When showing opening an email thread, read emails should be closed #164

If a user clicks the email it can be expanded. The previous emails in the message shouldn't be displayed by default either. One package to help with this is: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@u22n/mailtools We can help contribute to this package if needed too.

We do have some email parsing functionality in the app already. But it's not used in the Mail client at the moment.

I'd like to work on this. But why do we need an email parser package to collapse/show previous emails. We're already rendering them.

Also, found this UI issue when opening an email thread. Should I create a new issue for this or consider this part of this issue?

Yes, you can create a new issue and work on both/either.

Each email usually contains the contents of all the other emails in the conversation. Users do not need to see this. Gmail hides these messages by default like so:
