I bet this has been asked before and I just didn't see it... anyway,
I'm wondering if that was intentional that TAB visibility cycling
doesn't do anything if the insertion point is after the ellipses
indicating folded content.
** Example header...
^1 ^2 ^3 ^4
If the point is at locations 1, 2 or 3, TAB will reveal the next level
of children. (The ^ locations will make sense if you format the e-mail
using a monospace font. A proportional font will just look
nonsensical.)
** Example header
*** Child node
If it's at location 4, TAB cycling does nothing.
It's a minor point, but somehow when I'm moving the pointer around in
Emacs, quite often it ends up at the end of a displayed line, and then
I have to remember to take an extra step to make sure TAB does what
it's supposed to do.
I'll grant, there could be a good reason for the behavior, but I think
it's reasonable to expect TAB to expand a heading if the point is
anywhere on the line (including at the end).

Because with ^1 ^2 ^3 the point is on a headline, while with ^4 it is
not on a headline, it is after the folded part of the buffer (and you
usually don't know exactly where it is.)
HTH,

May I rephrase it: For this little gain there is too much pain (i.e.
too hard to implement)?
Thanks for the explanation, I can live without it. 8-)

i think maybe somebody patched this?
one more similar thing. if the headline is folded, and point is
somewhere not in the headline, m-right etc. don't work. this is
common when you yank folded, i think.
