Sure. Hiding a message with 'b' is visually identical to hiding it with
RET. Except that the internal mechanism is distinct, so that afterwards
one can't make it visible again with RET.

I think we just need to drop 'b'---it's really not needed as a separate
keybinding now that RET works on any part of a message. And after that,
there's some simplification to be made in the code.[*]

I'll have some patches pushed for this soon, (on top of the switch to
JSON for the emacs code).

[*] Even more simplification is possible if we stop trying to hide
header components. Several people have requested that To and Cc be
visible all the time.
