Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243832

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040210 Firefox/0.8

I created a filter, that detects special messages by checking their subject
line. These messages have to be deleted and to be marked as read messages. So I
selected the corresponding checkboxes in the actions pane, "Mark message as
read" *) and "Delete Message". But thunderbird only move the files into the
Trash folder, it does NOT mark the messages as read.

--
*) I use a german version of thunderbird, so I have to guess the english labels.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pic some useless messages, that have the same or similar subject, so that the
filter is able to recognise them, if necessary create them, and put the messages
into a folder
2. Create a new filter that recognize the picked messages, activate the
checkboxes "Mark message as read" and "Delete Message"
3. Execute the Filter on the folder containing, the picked messages

Actual Results:  
The messages were moved into the trash folder.
They were NOT marked as read.

Expected Results:  
The messages have to be marked as read.

bug 243832 has a clearer, more generic description of the problem.
