Subject: [PATCH] www: note "x=m" and "t=1" (mis)use for GET requests

We require "x=m" (requests for mboxes) to be POST requests to
avoid unnecessary traffic from crawlers.  "t=1" only collapses
threads in the summary view, which isn't normally accessible
from <form> elements.

This also fixes the missing "[summary|nested]" element when
"x=m" is used.
