I've pretty soon lost the original open/close status as I often navigate
through messages by opening/closing messages, so for me not operating
on all messages in thread is magic behaviour. In case I'd use C-u *
I first have to check through the full thread what are the actual
messages currently open (lots of screen scrolling :( )

So, I prefer '*' operating on all messages in a thread and C-u '*'
for all open messages in a thread.
