It is a bit tricky and it would be nice to have the buttons there all the time

Ps: If you right-click on the 'view complete map of this thread' 'green or not' and select 'open link in new window' you get the map in another window of the explorer
Any message you select in the new window is shown in the lower frame of your original window
