Hi Shefan, I hope this helps. It would resolve all the threading issues at a stroke now you have the improved system on v3.
The way we did it in VA (sorry to keep bringing that up) was to always have the threads opened by default but use the Return key to move to the next unread message. In use it is smooth and elegant. If you accidentally hit return when you did not mean to then CTRL-Z would bring you back to the previous message(s). Unlike in The Bat! and Outlook, the messages in VA never changed status from unread to read in x seconds while reading. Instead, hitting the return key to move to the next message marked it as unread. From a user point of view it is very elegant working that way and is great when you have to work your way through a load of messages you have no interest in (like on mailing lists!). Just hit the return key bang bang bang there is a good one. Bang bang bang ...oops...CTRL-Z. See what I mean?
