Almost every email client/interface on this planet, from Hotmail to the iPhone, marks an email as read when you open it for reading. And this for good reason: Usually people read an email after they open it, which is generally the purpose of opening an email. Having to manually mark them as read, especially when using the mouse, is an unnecessary task.
Also, what is the disadvantage of keeping the email currently being looked at in the VF's message list? I bet my ass that Ritlabs didn't implement the current behaviour on purpose. They just made the VFs refresh more often (which is generally good) and don't care about this side effect that actually destroys a useful process for users. That process being to have a VF that shows all your unread mail from various accounts/folders. Not such an unusual way to handle new mail one would think. BRgds, Carsten
