Well, in Entourage 2001 you have a choice between "view all" and "view only
unread." What I'd like to see is the ability to do something in between...
have the article list show all articles in any thread that has new postings.
For instance, if this is what is on the server:
Thread A
re: Thread A
re: Thread A
re: Thread A
Thread B
re: Thread B
re: Thread B*
(* is the new post)
View all would show all of the messages. View new would only show the single
new post. What I'd like is a view that shows all of thread B (along with,
say, threads F, G and H which meet the same criteria). Give posts a sense of
context.
It would be called something like "View threads with new replies." :)

That sounds cool. Not sure if it would meet the need above, but it sounds
like a good step. Now if only I could get it ordered...
