[MlMt] Changed prefs
Once again, MailMate 2 has just changed my settings on me with no warning and no upgrade. Right now I'm wondering how to set it so that it marks messages as read when they are, uh, read and not otherwise. It looks like the View options might have changed. Previously I had it set for 3 panes, but hid the message preview. Right now I have the pref set so that the "Mark messages read after __ seconds" is unchecked.

The View menu is back to its old self and I see that the "Hide message preview" was once again off. I couldn't tell, in part, because the window was extended down off the bottom of my screen (maybe because I have different two-screen set-ups at home and at work?). In any case, I selected that option again and now all is well. Still, those prefs changed on their own, AFAICT.

Messages were suddenly being marked as “read” as soon as I single-clicked them. I just had to tell it to hide the preview again (even though it wasn’t visible to begin with). Now, this was right after launching for the first time on a new machine after Migration Assistant moved everything over, so maybe some weirdness should be expected. Still though, why just that one preference out of the hundreds that made it over just fine? -- Rob McBroom http://www.skurfer.com/ ___ mailmate mailing list mailmate@lists.freron.com https://lists.freron.com/listinfo/mailmate

Several people, including me, have reported finding that their preview window was open to a width of one pixel or so, which meant that it *seemed* closed/hidden, because it was too narrow for human eyes to see, but messages were being marked read as soon as they were selected. I don't know if MailMate occasionally spontaneously opens its preview window or if it's user error (hand slips and invisibly opens the preview?). It's only happened to me once or twice, but "Make sure the preview window is closed. No, really, make SURE" should definitely be the first troubleshooting step if someone sees that behavior unwanted.

Yes, you've clearly got the cause right. I'm fairly certain though, that this happens upon opening MM2 after it's been quit, so I don't think it's me accidentally hitting some key, unless MM reads something from the keyboard (like a command-key press) while it's opening, but that seems odd to me.
