At the moment, I feel that's what I want.  I have a few keys set up for
addings tags like mute or delete, ie.:

     (set-key notmuch-show-mode-map key
              (notmuch-show-tag tag) (notmuch-show-next-thread t))

This adds the tag and opens the next thread, which is great, except
I sometimes don't want to mark the next thread unread.

I have two more shortcut which go to the next thread but one of them
removes unread tag.  This way, this setup does not mean I have to type
more -- I just need to conciously choose whether I want to tag current
message read or not.
