My $0.02 worth.  Use an accelerator key to collapse all or expand all.
Use the prefix triangle, as now, to collapse or expand individual
threads.

If a thread is expanded, then delete, read, flag etc. applies to only
the selected item; if the thread is collapsed, then delete, read, flag
etc. applies to the selected thread and all its children.  

As well, a user should be able to select several individual items using
shift or control, as now, and delete, read, flag etc. those items as a
group.  The same should apply to a group of threads.

That's what I think.
