Note that holding down ? expands the entire thread when using right
arrow or clicking on the triangle (standard Mac OS X feature). Another
useful feature may be ?Select Thread? (??A) - to archive after
reading the thread (even if not using ?Organize by Thread?).
But I can see that the above would not be optimal.

I've just added 4 actions to the messages outline to be used for key
bindings. After the next update you should be able to make a key binding
like:
"a" = ( "expand:", "archive:" );
That should automatically expand the thread before archiving the
currently selected message(s). The next one is then automatically
selected if you are in a mailbox not showing archived messages. If you
need to explicitly move to the next (unread) message then it can be done
as follows:
"a" = ( "expand:", "archive:", "nextUnreadMessage:" );
The `expand:` selector may be the (only) useful one, but for the sake of
completion I've introduced:
expand:
collapse:
expandThread:
collapseThread:
