I agree with Diane. Under view check 'Threaded' and 'Preview Pane'. I then
use the arrow keys to scan down the messages, reading the first in the
thread. If a thread interests me I hit the right arrow key to open the
thread, then continue scanning down the messages using the down arrow key.

The only extra step is when I want to delete all the messages I have to go
to View>Expand All, then I cmd-a to select all and then delete. If you don't
expand all then you have to do multiple (sometimes many multiple) hits of
the delete key before they are all gone.
