Hmm... Last time I couldn't find that function... Weird...Sorry 'bout
that..

Ok, but now that I "found" it, the behaviour is exactly as I
described, it *goes* to the right summary line _if the thread is
already expanded_ but *does not* mark article as read when this
article is in a thread under a ticked one.

When I first enter the group not selecting any article, and give do
gnus-summary-goto-subject it goes to the line of the right *thread*
but does not expand it, contrary to gnus-summary-goto-article.

I remember I tested with gnus-summary-goto-article, because tracing
from group selection made me look at gnus-summary-best-unread-article
where gnus-summary-goto-article is used.

I'd have to grab gnus-summary-prepare-hook or gnus-summary-prepared-hook ?
Are there any examples out there on how I could do this ? Maybe on the 
Fine Manual ?

While tracing the previous problem I thought I would have to hack
gnus-summary-read-group-1 and make 
gnus-summary-best-thread-first-article and
gnus-summary-first-of-best-thread-article functions, based on
gnus-summary-best-unread-article... 
What defuns could I use to:

a) Find the first article of the thread of given article
b) Find the score of thread of article (this should be tied to first
   of thread, right?)
