CTRL + H on the keyboard. (both at the same time)

Interestingly none of the lists of keyboard shortcuts I could find include
the CTRL + H combination but I use it all the time. (must really be a secret
:-)

Here is one such list;

Slight correction. CTRL + H will show threads with messages from you, not
limited to "flagged" messages. It won't show flagged messages/threads to
which you personally did not respond/post. I mark all messages to which I
respond as watched so it works out the same for me. You can click the top
row where the picture of the spectacles is shown to bring all watched
messages to the top.
My apologies for the confusion.
