Build 2001010420, Win98

today I several times had a green arrow on a mail message icon which is marked
as read (and has been read indeed) but is still qualified as 'new' in the status
field. The arrow does not disappear after often opening the message or clicking
'mark as read' (because it is already marked so of course). To be complete: the
message is not in bold anymore. All other arrows (folder and global level) had
disappeard the way they should. It does not happen any time, and till so far
only in my 'bugzilla' folder, which is automatically filtered. But this also is
the folder in which I recieved most mail today, so this doesn't need to be a clue.
OK, hold on. It's even worse. First I thought I was halucinating, but now I
confirmed it for myself:
Sometimes, a message is classified 'read' and the arrow disappears. Then, after
switching to another folder (and doing some other things maybe) and returning to
the folder with the read message, is has become new again, including a green
arrowed icon! The status has really changed from 'read' into 'new'.
More details:
the green arrow returns on any read message that I recieved *today* and that is
automatically filtered to another folder. The arrow returns after opening a
different folder and returning to the folder with the just-read message. It does
not happen on messages which have been replied.
The arrow disappears after completely closing mozilla and starting it again.

Retested on build 2001010504: same behaviour.
I can confirm this behaviour, though we may already have a bug on this..
Grr..This is *really* annoying, marking new and nominating for mozilla 0.8.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

to complete the story, marking such message as unread and read again 
(tapping 'm' twice) will permanently mark message as read.:)
This is a known (POP) filtering problem.
