Dear Scott and other interested parties;

As I play with json output a bit more, it seems like having
--entire-thread optional would be useful for quite a few applications.
For example, if I want to get the From address for a given message-ID, I
with the current setup I have to post process the output. This is
doable, but I wonder if the better option isn't to make --entire-thread
optional for --format=json as well. 

Any thoughts?

David
