The indication that a message is part of a thread, as well as the open or closed status of a thread, should be passed through MSAA for screen readers. As of right now, using a threaded view, screen reader users get no indication about which messages have threads, and whether or not the threads are expanded or collapsed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Thunderbird
2. Launch a screen reader (such as Window-Eyes -- www.gwmicro.com/Window-Eyes)
3. Navigate a threaded message list
Actual Results:  
On a threaded message, Sender, subject, date, etc. will all be read

Expected Results:  
On a threaded message, thread indicator, open/close status, sender, subject, date, etc. should all be read.
