Further testing of SM 2.0 RC1 behavior on Win XP SP3 with a migrated profile from SM 1.1.18:
In 1.1.18, when a message has been viewed (e.g. clicked on), it is automatically (and logically) marked as "read." This is true for both mail and news. SM 2.0 RC1 doesn't follow the above behavior, instead keeping a viewed message as "unread" no matter how many times it's clicked upon. I have the pref regarding auto-marking a message as read (Mail & Newsgroups | Message Display | General | Automatically mark messages as read) unticked, as I don't want messages to be marked as read until I've read them. Be that as it may, 2.0 *should not* be behaving in the observed fashion AFAICT--messages *should* be marked as "read" once they have been viewed. In comparison, 1.1.18 only has a time interval setting for marking messages (Wait [] seconds before marking a message as read), and it's unclear if this pertains to automatically doing so, or doing so after a message has been viewed. Since I've never used this pref in SM 1.1.x, I can't speak to a comparison of behavior. I have *tried*, really and truly, *tried* to find a bug listing in Bugzilla for the described behavior of SM 2.0 RC1, but it is quite literally an effort in futility. If anyone has a better knack of coming up with search keywords that deliver less-than-making-one-crosseyed results, I would be more than grateful for you to apply your skills here. For surely this is a bug that has been listed for SM 2.0 already--unless I have a mutant version and am the only user experiencing this behavior...
