[nulluserbox]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.120 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Examine the X-Mozilla-Status flag of the message between each of the following steps. Consider folder with at least one unread message. If no such folder exists, mark a message unread by right clicking the message and selecting Mark->As unread. Right click on the folder in your folder pane and select Mark Folder Read.


Actual results:

Started with a read message with X-Mozilla-Status: 0001.
After marking the folder as read, the X-Mozilla-Status flag is still 0001.



Expected results:

Marking the folder read should have changed the X-Mozilla-Status flag to 0000.

Sorry, Status X-Mozilla-Status 0000 corresponds to unread and 0001 corresponds to read, so what I meant was
