Is there as setting on thunderbird that stops you having to expand
threads time and time again?....

I knew about the backslash, but not the asterisk. And the latest Thunderbird doesn't always advance to the next message when you press the space-bar, so from somewhere in my memory I recalled that n did that as well. So now I use n every time as it does it reliably, whereas the space-bar only works sometimes (how I wonder as software is usually predictable?). Are these things documented somewhere?

That is because space actually scrolls down the message you are
currently reading. Only if it reaches the end of the current message
does it then automatically trigger a move to next message (i.e. what n
does).

Hence the varying behaviour is dictated by the length of the message you
are reading, and the size of the viewing window. If the message is all
visible in the window, space will indeed act like n, but its a side
effect and not what its actually designed to do.
