Just to keep the argument warm:

I don't agree there.  I wouldn't expect any command[*] to behave
differently depending on whether the thread was expanded or not. The
way I see it, the underlying structure is the same.  Expanding/
collapsing threads is something I do with the mouse as I browse; but
commands which move to next-unread or similar should always select the
same message, irrespective of whether I clicked a few 'open' or
'close' boxes.

[*] expect possibly the simple navigation cursor keys, which are
'like' mouse movement
