Is there a way to display which "collapsed threads" contain unread messages?

New to Thunderbird and finding it, overall, along with Dovecot, a very satisfactory replacement for a proprietary legacy system, with a similar "look and feel".

That said, I find, with and indication of "new message", there is no indication of which "collapsed threads" might contain new, or unread, messages.

Is there a setting I have missed?

To address mangled sentence, when an indication shows there are new messages, and a folder contains "collapsed thread", there is no indication of which may contain new or unread messages. Becomes tedious to open each thread.

One option that might help is View/Threads/Threads With Unread.There's also an Unread button on the Quick Filter Bar.
