I agree. I think it's up to the user to define whether he read the
message. In fact as a consequence, I have no use of the 'unread' tag.

I would prefer just to do nothing (or bell) at the end of the
thread. Sometimes the end of a message is just at the end of the screen,
and I want to hit space to see the next message, so I think that
returning to the index would surprise me (as going to the next thread
does).

But this could be a third option if some people prefer that. So we would
have:
- do nothing
- archive go to the next thread
- return to the index
