You may already know this, or it may not be your preferred UI, but you
can use Option-Right_Arrow to fully expand a collapsed thread. If you
prefix that with Command-A to select all messages, you will fully
expand every thread in a mailbox. I sometimes use this to “get the
big picture” on a mailbox.
I agree that there doesn’t seem to be a predictable logic for how
threads are initially expanded, but I would not want threads with no
unread messages to be expanded by default. Instead, I would like all
unread messages to be directly visible in expanded threads.
Right, that is what I meant: expand all threads that have unread
messages should be expanded to make all unread messages visible.

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.
