... in which case it should also mark everything as read. IMHO.

Are there any keyboard bindings to go forwards to the next message or
backwards to the last message without marking anything as archived?

Also, just something I have noticed it isn't really obvious that a
thread has replies without scrolling down, and that takes time. Would
be really good if there could be some big/highlighted visual indicator
that there are still unread messages further down.
