Under the presumption you are talking about gnus, I think you mean:

C-M-k runs the command gnus-summary-kill-thread
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `gnus-sum.el'.
It is bound to C-M-k, T k, <menu-bar> <Threads> <Mark thread as read>.
(gnus-summary-kill-thread &optional UNMARK)

Mark articles under current thread as read.
If the prefix argument is positive, remove any kinds of marks.
If the prefix argument is negative, tick articles instead.
