Add this to your .gnus.el file:

(setq gnus-thread-hide-subtree t)

To find information about threads, use the built-in info reader
in emacs like this:

`C-h i m gnus [RET] i thread [RET]'

(C-h means to press CTRL and h simultaneously.)

Read more on the subject by pressing [SPACE].

Again, info is your friend:

`C-h i m gnus [RET] i gnus-summary-line-format [RET] ,'

(The `,' is used to move between index search results.)

You can't mark articles in the nndraft group as read, all
articles are permanently unread. Use `B [DEL]' if you want
to delete drafts.

Gnus only shows subscribed newsgroups with new messages. To
see all subscribed newsgroups press `L'. Does this do what
you want?
