I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for unfortunately. Just in
case, does
,----[ C-h v gnus-cited-lines-visible RET ]
| gnus-cited-lines-visible is a variable defined in `gnus-cite.el'.
| Its value is (2 . 2)
| Original value was nil
|
| Documentation:
| The number of lines of hidden cited text to remain visible.
| Or a pair (cons) of numbers which are the number of lines at the top
| and bottom of the text, respectively, to remain visible.
|
| You can customize this variable.
`----
do what you want? This does create a button [+] which you can select to
expand the hidden text, sort of unfolding.
In a summary buffer, you do have the option of hiding threads (T H).

This is really useful, but not what I am looking for. I am effectively
looking for what this does, only for a whole thread. Something along the
lines of having a summary buffer showing only one thread (in notmuch see
screenshot [1]), and when I select a single article, it expands the
article *in the summary buffer* [2].

Yes - very useful indeed.
Thanks,
Rainer

Ah, I see. You want a combined summary + article view. Similar to what
you get in gmail, I guess. I don't think you'll find anything like this
in gnus unfortunately as the various views are completely separate
buffers. You want an inline expansion of the article within the summary
buffer.
Personally, I prefer the gnus approach in that I can see the thread
structure in the summary window and then each individual article when
desired. But obviously this is a personal taste issue!

True - exactly like that.

That's a pity, but I can live with that.

I actually don't remember why I was looking for it. But it is most
definitely not a deal breaker to leave gnus.
If I need it, I can always search the message in notmuch.
Thanks a lot,
Rainer

I think this would be very useful in contexts where people do
top-posting (at everybodys work, these days, it seems).
It is kind of "auto-digest a thread and elide the quotations".
If it reordered the emails "oldest first", it would actually make
top-posted threads make sense.
Hey, somebody should make this!
Best regards,
Adam

Yes, that would make sense and it could indeed be useful in ameliorating
the top-posting epidemic!
