if you have a thread with 50 messages, 10 of which are new, it's a hassle
to have to click on each of the new messages to see them. it would be very
nice to be able to click on one thing (and only have one round trip to the
server on a slow connection) to expand them all. being able to expand them
all is useful for when you want to see the full context of the message,
again, having to click once for each message is a hassle and can be very
slow.

given how the full messages are indented along with the collapsed ones, it
doesn't seem hard to keep them straight.
