Hi all,

Well, we need a definition of what a session is.
Has a session ended when you close TB! and a new session starts when you
restart it?
Is a session ended and a new session started when new mail arrives?
Does a new session start with each check for new messages?
Does a session end when you declare it ended by hitting a switch or
something?
You see, you have to be more specific. Not everyone is on your
wavelength esp. with such an obscure wish.
Maybe you need a color codes for messages intended for reading but not
just yet and one could then add a switch in the context menus.
Mark read /Mark all messages read
Mark not read but for future reading /Mark all unread messages not read but etc.
Mark unread /Mark all messages unread.
Your proposal is more likely to cause confusion for others. It should be
a fully manual marker because of the dilemma with what exactly a session
is.
