[MlMt] Thread expansion logic?

[Bill Cole]

Is it just me or is the logic controlling how MM expands threads 
incomprehensible?

I mostly read mail in per-source submailboxes of a smart mailbox that 
aggregates threads with unread messages across subfolders of multiple 
accounts, including mostly non-INBOX sources. Much of the mail is 
mailing lists like this one, where threads are important. I have found 
that recent test builds (roughly: 59xx and 6xxx) have lost any 
discernible pattern in how threads are expanded in relation to unread 
messages. Often I go into a mailbox and find some threads expanded down 
to the first unread message, some fully collapsed despite having unread 
messages one or two levels down, and some expanded to reveal all unread 
messages.

I do not see any UI that would help tune this in any way. My ideal 
behavior would be to have threads expanded by default to reveal any 
unread messages.
