handling of read/unread status for all messages in threads

Feature Request

At the moment i have to click through the whole messages in a thread to set the full thread to read.
When i open a thread all previous messages in that thread should be set to read without having to click through it.

It's a behavioral change that we should discuss before someone jumps into this. But I guess this makes sense.

Alternatively (Or additionally), we could at least provide a "Mark Thread As Read" option from the context menu.

@meichthys @powerpaul17 and others: I renamed the title of this. So if you want a better handling of read/unread status for all messages in threads, please give a 👍 on the first comment, so this gets more exposure.

How exactly this will should be implemented is still to be decided.

IMO this is pretty central feature of an email client. I had to install Thunderbird to mark every message in a big thread as read, wasn't possible in NC Mail.

Personally I would like to have every unread message open so I can read through them. Currently only the last message is opened and I have to click on the others separately in order to read the thread.
