KM, I agree with you in that many times it's useful to see the
context of a reply. I'll offer an alternative solution in the
form of a shameless plug: have you seen Shendal's Perl/Tk
Newest Nodes client? It uses my PerlMonks modules
to provide a very nice threaded view of Newest Nodes. So what
I do is that I usually click on the parent node of the one
I want to see, then I get to see both the context and the replies
with a single double-click. No more extra clicks!
Note: Shendal is now working on redesigning some of the interface
aspects of the program, so if it feels a little funky (particularly
the buttons and the actions) don't get discouraged, it will
change for the better!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
