A feature request: I would like to have an option like "View" -> "Threads" -> 
"Expand All Threads with Unread" or "Collapse All Threads without Unread"

When reading a mailing-list-folder (or any other with longer discussions with 
several people), and there are several new messages scattered over several more 
threads, I have the choice between to options, of which both become more and 
more unconvenient as times go by and the number on messages grows: A) Open all 
threads, then go along and close those that do not have new messages, or B) 
close all threads and go along and open the ones that contain new messages.

Why not let the mail client do this on one click? 

(I'm astonished that I'm apparently the first one with this idea... It seems so 
obvious... Please excuse me if I overlooked a bug report regarding this, I spent 
several hours on searching & reading...)

Reproducible: Always
Summary: "Expand All Threads with Unread" / "Collapse All Threads without Unread" → "Expand All Threads with Unread" / "Collapse All Threads without Unread"
