I'm trying to configure mutt so that whenever I switch to a folder, it collapses all threads by default, except those containing unread messages.
This is the folder hook I've written so far:
folder-hook . "push <collapse-all><tag-pattern>~(~N)<enter><tag-prefix-cond><collapse-thread>"
collapse-all
collapses all threads;tag-pattern: ~(~N)
tags all visible (thread parent) messages belonging to threads containing unread messages;tag-prefix-cond
is supposed to make the next function apply to all tagged messages;- but it appears
collapse-thread
doesn't respond to the tag prefix (my guess is that's because it's written to act on threads, not messages).
So can this be done? (without writing a patch to mutt, that is?)

I think You do not even need a macro. There are configuration options regarding (un)collapsing.
Try following configuration and comment the macro:
