But..  How many filters do you want it to invert, and how do you tell which 
ones.  IOW, a simple toggle filter would toggle from threads I've 
participated in, new and unread messages only, cached and uncached, w/o 
attachments, etc, to threads I've NOT particpated in, only READ messages, 
only messages WITH attachments, etc.  IOW, invert filters wouldn't have the 
desired effect.

There is a simple way to do what you want, I think, tho, on filters you 
commonly use.  I do it here with the read messages toggle.  I simply 
(re)assigned the Ctl-R hotkey to toggle that filter, so if I am viewing a 
message in my normal unread messages only mode, and want to see the entire 
thread, I simply hit control-r and vwalla!  See the frequent threads about 
customizing hotkeys for details, if needed.
