I believe what the reporter is saying is that selecting all messages with CTRL+A
will mark all messages as read. I cannot reproduce this.

Changing summary.

Comment 2

[Albert Feller]

selecting all messages does indeed mark all of them as read (=I can reproduce
the bug) but i don't know if this is even supposed to be a bug or maybe rather a
feature.

This is easy to reproduce if you've set a delay in marking messages read:
 Tools | Options | Advanced | General
   [] Wait [N] seconds before marking a message as read

(That's how the option appears in trunk builds...)

Assuming that's what reporter has done, I'm duping this.
